Blueberry Scones with Lime Zest

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup granulated sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• zest of 1 lime
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold
• 2/3 cup whole milk, cold
• 1/2 pint (1 cup) frozen wild blueberries
• 2-3 Tablespoons whole milk (to brush tops of scones)
• Turbinado Sugar, Decorating Sugar, or crushed sugar cubes (coarse sugar)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lime zest in a food processor.
3. Cut butter into the food processor, and pulse several times until the mixture resembles course meal.
4. Turn food processor on low, and slowly add milk. Mix until the dough comes together and pulls away from sides. Dough will be slightly sticky.
5. Turn out dough onto a well floured surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is 1/2 inch thick.
6. Scatter the blueberries onto the dough, and press them down slightly so they set in the dough.
7. Fold dough over from the edges so all blueberries are covered; then gently fold dough a couple more times so blueberries are well mixed in (do not press too hard, or you will crush all the blueberries).
8. Roll out dough into a 1 inch thick disk. Place disk on a baking stone. Cut disk into 8 triangles (i.e., cut it like a pizza). Separate triangles from each other so there is at least 1/2 inch space in between each of them.
9. Brush tops of scones with milk, and sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
10. Place scones in oven, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until scones are lightly brown.

Hope you all enjoy!
