Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare the cast iron pan (affiliate link) with a bit of oil.
- In a small bowl, combine butter, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until the mixture is crumbly. Pour in the buttermilk to bring the dough together gently.
- Fold in the blueberries and roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½ inch thickness. Use the top of a glass to cut out rounds.
- Place the scones in the preheated cast iron pan (affiliate link) and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and cinnamon for a lemon glaze.
- Once baked, over the war scones drizzle it with the lemon glaze. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you’re out of buttermilk, you can make your own. Add the 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a glass measuring cup, then fill it with milk until reaches the 1 cup line, and let sit for 5 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes then use as directed.
