Blueberry-Lemon Scones
- 9 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 cups, spooned; 255g), plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon (4g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume or use the same weight
- 2 ounces refined coconut oil (about 1/4 cup; 55g), solid but creamy (see note)
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries (1 cup; 170g)
- 1/4 ounce lemon zest (about 1 tablespoon; 7g)
- 8 ounces unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk (1 cup; 225g), shaken or stirred until homogeneous before measuring (see note)
- Toasted or turbinado sugar, to taste (optional)
- 1. For the Dough: Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and coconut oil in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until oil disappears into a powdery meal. Transfer to a medium bowl, then toss with blueberries and lemon zest. Stir in coconut milk with a flexible spatula to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, pat into a 7-inch round, and refrigerate 15 minutes. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
- 2. To Bake: Using a chef’s knife, cut chilled wheel of dough into 6 wedges. Sprinkle generously with toasted or turbinado sugar, if using, and arrange on a parchment-lined half sheet pan. Bake until puffed and golden, about 25 minutes, and serve warm.
