Blue berry Scones Recipe

Doing early morning family meals I always liked to have some nice pastry and or some fruits. This is a scone recipe that works so well and goes far beyond being used only for comida... 2 cups A.P. Flour. 3 TB Sugar, plus topping. 1 TB Baking Powder. 3/4 tsp Salt. 6 TB Cold Butter(cubes). 1 1/2 cups fresh Blueberries. 1 tsp Lemon Zest. 1/3 cup cream, plus topping. 2 Large Eggs beaten. Mix dry(sift together). Cut in butter. Should be little small pellets. Make a well then add cream and egg mixture. Fold in blueberries and lemon zest. Have oven pre heated to 400 degrees. Once you have the mix together bring into a ball and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for least 1 hour. When ready to bake, bring batter out of refrigerator and let come up to room temperature. Roll batter out on floured surface 1 1/4" thick. Cut into 6 inch squares and then 3" triangles. Place on a parchment paper lined sheet tray and brush with cream. Sugar the tops and bake 20 to 22 minute's. Usually I will bake at 400 for 15 minutes then bring down to 350 degrees for the remainder. Just for appearance sake. Gives a nice golden brown. Make sure to check for doneness then place on a rack to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
