Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, sugar, and blueberries. If using, grate lemon zest into the mixture for added flavor. Gently toss until the blueberries are coated.
3
In a separate measuring cup, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Use a fork to mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the scones tough.
5
Using a large cookie scoop, portion out 8 dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
6
With wet fingers, gently flatten each scone slightly to help them bake evenly.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
8
While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing lemon juice with confectioners' sugar until you achieve a thin, drizzle-able consistency.
9
Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the scones for an extra touch of sweetness.
