Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup cold salted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Buttermilk, for brushing
- Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling on top
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Step 2
Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in the bowl of a bowl and cut in the butter with a pastry mixer or a fork until fine crumbs form. Add the egg and buttermilk and mix until a thick, stiff dough forms. Add the blueberries and mix until the blueberries are just incorporated into the dough. If some of them break, that’s okay – you’ll get those pretty juice drips down the side.
Step 3
Flour your hands. Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a floured work surface. Roll into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles; pull the triangles apart from each other and brush with buttermilk. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Step 4
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
