-
Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and lemon zest
-
Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Crumble it into the flour with your fingers until it resembles textured breadcrumbs (there may be some larger bits of butter left - that is fine).
-
Add the buttermilk and gently stir until it just starts to come together.
-
Add the blueberries and gently press into the dough to avoid staining it purple. Turn onto the baking sheet, and with floured hands, gently bring the dough together into a disc about 3-4cm thick. You may have to press some of the blueberries into the scone dough.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut each disc into 6 wedges and gently spread apart on the baking tray, leaving about 2cm between each scone.
-
Brush the melted butter across the scones and sprinkle the sugar over the top.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
