How to Make Orange Glazed Blueberry Scones

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup buttermilk and 1 large egg.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. In a small bowl, toss 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking.
7. Gently fold the blueberries into the scone batter.
8. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. While the scones are cooling, prepare the orange glaze:
12. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
13. Stir until the butter and sugar are melted and the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened.
14. Remove from heat and drizzle or brush the glaze over the cooled scones.
15. Let the glaze set before serving and enjoy!
