Lemon Blueberry Scones

2 cups flour

6 Tbsps. sugar

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon zest

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup butter, frozen

1/2 cup heavy cream (plus 2 Tbsps. for brushing)

1 large egg

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 heaping cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)

Coarse sugar for topping

Lemon icing

1 cup powdered sugar

3 Tbsps. fresh lemon juice

Whisk flour, sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter; add to flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter or 2 forks until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together. Whisk ½ cup cream, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the blueberries, and then mix together until everything appears moistened. Pour onto counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems to dry, add 1-2 more tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and cut into 8 wedges. Brush scones with the remaining cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Place scones on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before topping with lemon icing. (To make the icing, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice, mix well and drizzle over warm scones).

1 Gig vs 5G

Consolidated’s internet is provided by a coaxial or fiber optic cable that provides consistent performance and is less vulnerable to signal interference than a wireless connection. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), also called 5G home internet is a wireless technology. 5G signals are radio frequencies transmitted over the air, so data transmissions are less consistent than a wired connection.
