How to make Workbridge Lemon and Blueberry Scones

by Dale Pursglove, Senior Vocational Skills Instructor at Workbridge coffee shop.

For this recipe you will need:

  • 400g of self-raising flour
  • 100g of unsalted butter
  • 300ml of milk
  • 60g of caster sugar
  • The rinds of 2 lemons
  • 150g of blueberries

 

Let's get baking...

  • Heat the oven up to 160C.
  • Pour the flour onto a clean work surface.
  • Add the sugar and the butter to the flour.
  • Knead the mixture together and keep going until you reach a bread crumb consistency.
  • Add the lemon rinds and blueberries into the mixture.
  • Add the milk in small glugs and continue to knead until it forms a doughy texture.
  • Use a cookie or pastry cutter and cut out six circles. The scones should be around 2 and a half cm thick. Remember, the scones will rise in the oven!
  • Add the scones to the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Check the scones and if they require a little more time, keep them in the oven for a further 5 minutes.
  • After that, you're done! Leave them to cool and enjoy on their own, or with jam and cream.
