Lemon Blueberry Scones

Lemon Blueberry Scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch or tea time.  The flavor combo has Spring written all over it.

These lemon blueberry scones are the perfect flavor combo, fresh blueberries and a lemon glaze. The scones are soft and flaky and full of flavor. They have a beautiful golden crust thanks to the whipped cream that is brushed over the top before baking. They are perfect for breakfast, especially fresh out of the oven.
