Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) whey protein powder (unflavored preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • Zest of 2 medium lemons
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ cup (180g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  4. Gently fold in lemon zest and fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush the berries.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle about 8 inches wide. Cut into 8 wedges.
  8. Place wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. While baking, whisk together Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy. Adjust sweetness or tartness as desired.
  10. Let scones cool on a rack for about 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the warm scones.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky layers. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones. Fold blueberries gently to keep them intact. Glaze scones while warm for best results. If dough is too wet, add a little flour; if too dry, add a splash of cream.
