These gluten-free vegan Lemon Blueberry Scones are bursting with citrus and berry flavor, thanks to St. Dalfour jam! They are topped with the most delicious and zesty glaze that you'll have to stop yourself from eating on its own. They’re perfect for spring brunches, picnics, or any day you want to treat yourself to a cozy, no-fuss bake.
Keep your cubed butter in the freezer until right before you add it to the mixture.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar to a bowl and whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl combine milk, jam, vanilla, lemon zest, and juice. Whisk to combine.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and use a fork to stir and combine. Add butter and use your hands, or a fork to combine and knead into a crumbly dough. It won't be perfect and the butter won't be 100% incorporated.
Pour onto a clean, dry surface and use your hands to press and shape into a disc shape. It should be about 7-8" wide and 1.5" thick.
Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into 8 triangles and transfer to the baking sheet.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on the edges.
While the scones are baking, prepare the icing by combing the ingredients in a bowl and whisking to combine. Add additional powdered sweetener if needed to thicken.
Remove scones from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
