Huckleberry-Lemon Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    3 tablespoons white sugar
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    6 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/3 cup half-and-half cream
    3/4 teaspoon lemon zest
    3/4 cup fresh huckleberries
    1 cup powdered sugar
    1/4 cup lemon juice
    1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
    Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter and lemon juice until evenly mixed and slightly crumbly. Whisk together the eggs and half-and-half in a small bowl; add 3/4 teaspoons lemon zest with the egg mixture to flour mixture, and mix gently just until well blended and forming a dough. Fold in the huckleberries.
    Divide dough in half, and on a floured surface, shape each half into a ball, then flatten slightly. Cut each round into six wedges; place on prepared baking sheet.
    Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze. Drizzle glaze on cooled scones. Sprinkle with remaining lemon zest for garnish.
