Ingredients

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup ripe blueberries
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
5/8 tbsp orange zest
optional: 1-2 extra tablespoons of milk to moisten dough before/during kneading
4 tbsp powdered sugar
2 tbsp fresh-squeezed orange juice
1 tbsp honey (optional)
1 pinch or two of orange zest

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and grease a baking sheet with cooking oil.
Rub the chilled butter into the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest until coarse crumbs form.
Whisk the egg, milk, yogurt, and vanilla together, then stir them into the flour mixture.
Fold in the blueberries and gently shape the dough into a 7-inch round.
Cut the dough into 6 wedges, sprinkle with coarse sugar if using, and bake for 14 to 17 minutes.
Stir the powdered sugar, orange juice, honey if using, and orange zest together, then drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
