These fluffy scones combine sweet-tart huckleberries with rich cream and a zesty lemon glaze for a tender, flavorful breakfast treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh huckleberries (or blueberries)
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk heavy cream, egg, and lemon zest until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Carefully fold in huckleberries, being gentle to avoid crushing.
  7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Cut dough into 8 wedges and place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  9. Brush tops lightly with heavy cream.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. While baking, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth to make glaze.
  12. Cool scones on a rack for 10 minutes, then drizzle glaze over the top.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky layers. Handle dough gently to avoid tough scones. If dough is sticky, chill for 15 minutes before shaping. Glaze while scones are warm for a crackly finish or wait until fully cooled for a softer glaze. Frozen berries should be tossed in flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
