Blueberry-Blackberry Honey Butter-Glazed Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 cup whipping cream
    3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
    1 large egg
    2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    1/2 - 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
    1/2 - 3/4 cup frozen blackberrie (or raspberries)
    Finishing Touch
    milk or melted butter, for brushing
    Glaze
    1/3 cup honey
    1/4 cup unsalted butter
Preparation
    Put lemon juice in a 1 cup measuring cup, pour in the whipping cream to 1 cup mark, and let stand a few minutes to make soured cream.
    Preheat oven to 425\u00b0; stack two baking sheets together and line the top sheet with parchment paper.
    Arrange oven rack to upper third position.
    In a food processor, add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and blend briefly.
    Add butter and pulse to make a coarse, grainy mixture.
    Turn out mixture into a large bowl and make a well in the center.
    Add egg, vanilla, and enough soured cream to make a soft but firm dough.
    Gently fold in berries.
    Knead briefly on a lightly floured work surface, adding more flour, if required to make a firm dough.
    Pat out to 1-inch thickness.
    Cut into wedges or rounds and place on prepared baking sheets.
    Brush each scone with milk or melted butter.
    Bake until scones are nicely browned, about 16-19 minutes.
    Meanwhile, heat honey and butter in a liquid measuring cup in a microwave until mixture is just simmering, about 1 1/2 minutes at HIGH, stirring after 45 seconds.
    Brush scones lightly with honey-butter glaze as they come out of oven.
    Let stand on baking sheets; repeat with more honey-butter glaze, more generously, about 15 minutes later.
