BREAKFAST: Summer Fruit Scones with Lemon Glaze

I've made these several times and they don''t last long.

8 scones    400F     15-18 min

2 cups all-purpose flour + a bit  for work surface

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 T baking powder

8 T cold butter

1 egg, large if possible
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 generous cup mixed berries from Trader Joe's

1 c confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice 

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment; set aside.

In your processor, add 2 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, optional salt and process once to mix.

Add the butter and process till lumpy.

In a small bowl mix  the egg, sour cream, vanilla.

Pour wet mixture over dry, and fold until just combined. without OVERTAXING.

Fold in the berries and zest if available.

Sprinkle 2 T flour over clean surface.

Turn dough on floured surface and need just till you get about an 8 in circle or whatever shape you are looking for or put in a pie plate.

If making a round circle, slice into 8 triangle scones or if using a pie plate just knife through the 8 lines.

Place the scones on a cookie sheet with a Silpat sheet or similar, they will spread. 

Bake 18 min until lightly browned but check at 15 min to make sure bottoms aren't burning.

Let cool and make lemon glaze, drizzle over scones!
