MEYER LEMON BLUEBERRY SCONES WITH LEMON GLAZE
Makes 8 Scones
I was off a couple of weeks ago and made this for breakfast! These scones are tender, buttery, chocked full of plump blueberries and the best part, the tops, golden and crunchy from a generous sprinkling of Turbinado Sugar. If you don’t already have this in your pantry, make sure you get it! Gives a delicious crunchy crust to your baked goods! Btw, these scones are so darn delicious, you won’t need anything else with it, well except coffee or tea!

- Brush each scone with milk then generously sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Place in freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to chill.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
