- Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles cornmeal. Add blueberries, mixing until evenly distributed. Make a well in the center.
- Whisk together sour cream. heavy cream, egg, and vanilla. Gradually mix into dry ingredients until fully moistened.
- Turn the dough out onto a non stick lightly floured surface. Turn it a few times to coat with flour to help with the stickiness. Do not overwork the dough. Pat the dough into an 8 inch circle that is about 1 inch thick.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in flour to cut dough into wedges. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until lightly golden.
- To make glaze: Mix together powdered sugar, cream and vanilla. May add additional heavy cream until desired consistency. Drizzle over warm scones just before serving, if desired.
- Serve warm with fresh whipped cream and lemon curd or jam.
