Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 6 tablespoons butter

  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, divided

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • ⅓ cup half-and-half cream

  • ¾ cup fresh huckleberries

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

  2. Whisk flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl; cut in butter and 4 tablespoons lemon juice with a pastry blender until slightly crumbly. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon lemon zest until well combined. Whisk eggs and half-and-half together in a small bowl; mix into flour mixture until a dough forms. Fold in huckleberries.

  3. Divide dough in half; shape each into a ball, then flatten slightly into rounds. Cut each round into six wedges. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool scones on a wire rack.

  5. Whisk confectioners' sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice together in a small bowl; drizzle on cooled scones. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest.
