INGREDIENTS
Lemon curd
1/2 cup butter
One generous Tbsp lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup sugar
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
Wild Blueberry Lemon scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp butter Frozen and grated
3 tbsp lemon zest
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 cup wild blueberries
1 tbsp buttermilk
2 tbsp raw sugar
DIRECTIONS : Lemon Curd
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan, add the lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar, then stir to combine and cook until the sugar dissolves.
Quickly whisk in the eggs in the egg yolks and cook until the lemon curd gets hot and thick. Do not boil. Strain the lemon curd through a sieve and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled
DIRECTIONS : Wild Blueberry Scones
Combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the Frozen grated butter and combined with a fork. In a separate bowl combine the lemon zest, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Mix well and add to the dry mixture. Mix until combined then fold in the wild blueberries.
At this point the scones can be put into a cast iron skillet and scored, or the dough can be turned out onto a floured surface, at which point you will pat it into a round that is 1 inch thick. Cut into 6 individual pieces and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the top of each scone with the one tablespoon of heavy cream and dust with the raw sugar. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
