📝 Preparation Steps
1
Scones:
2
Preheat oven to 400°F, with a rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
In a small bowl whisk buttermilk and egg. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Scatter butter pieces over the flour. Using your fingertips (or a pastry cutter), work the butter into the flour by rubbing it quickly into small pieces. Proceed until the mixture resembles a sandy texture with pebble-sized pieces of butter (the pieces of butter will be irregularly shaped; that's fine).

Reserve 1 tablespoon of the buttermilk-egg mixture (this will be for brushing the top of the scones), pour the remaining buttermilk mixture into the flour, along with the almond or vanilla extract. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir the dough until it starts to come together. Once it’s mostly combined, add the blueberries and use your hands to gently mix and knead the dough until the blueberries are mixed throughout (a few blueberries may burst or break, but that's okay). Dump the dough onto a floured work surface and pat the dough into a 1- inch thick disc. Cut into desired shapes (I made 8 triangles).

Place the scones on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the reserved buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
7
Bake for ⏱️ 18-22 minutes, until the the tops are light golden brown and they are cooked through. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool.

Glaze:
9
Whisk ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more powdered sugar (to thicken) or milk (to thin). Drizzle over the room temperature scones.
