1/2cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add Butter: Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries.
Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape into a round disk, cut into wedges, and bake for 16–20 minutes until golden brown.
Make Lemon Glaze: Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to form a glaze. Drizzle over cooled scones.
Notes
For best texture, avoid overmixing the dough.
You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding.
