Blueberry Lime Scones
These are moist, tender, and fruity, and lime icing on top gives them something extra.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 225 grams self-raising flour (1 3/4 cup, 7.9 oz)
- 75 grams butter (1/3 cup, 2.64 oz)chilled and diced
- 40 grams brown sugar (3 tablespoons, 1.4 oz)
- 125 ml milk (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon, 4.2 fl oz)
- 100 grams blueberries (1 cup, 3.5 oz)
- 1/2 lime zested and juiced
- icing sugar
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 220 C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Tip the flour into a bowl, add the butter and rub in until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar. Add the milk stir to form a soft dough. Gently fold in blueberries.
- Tip it onto a lightly floured surface and knead once or twice to bring it together, then move it to the baking sheet and pat it out to a circle about 2.5cm (1 inch) thick. Dip a knife blade in flour and mark the circle into wedges, cutting almost all the way through (wiggle it around any blueberries).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden,
- Mix the lime juice with enough icing sugar to make a thick icing. Spoon icing onto each one and sprinkle with lime zest.
Notes
***In Croatia, we are using grams and milliliters. Every recipe has a measuring in grams (milliliter), cups, and ounces. I own cups and spoons measure utensils and I try to be exact when I convert weight into volume (cups), but there is a slight possibility of deviation from the exact amount. Due to differences in measurement, I recommend that you use a kitchen scale if you have one.
