Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
• ¾ teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ⅓ cup half-and-half cream
• ¾ cup fresh huckleberries

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter and lemon juice until evenly mixed and slightly crumbly. Whisk together the eggs and half-and-half in a small bowl; add 3/4 teaspoons lemon zest with the egg mixture to flour mixture, and mix gently just until well blended and forming a dough. Fold in the huckleberries.

Step 3

Divide dough in half, and on a floured surface, shape each half into a ball, then flatten slightly. Cut each round into six wedges; place on prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze. Drizzle glaze on cooled scones. Sprinkle with remaining lemon zest for garnish.
