Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flours, lemon zest, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter and work it into the flour mixture until the largest pieces are the size of small peas, using your fingertips or a pastry blender.
4. Gently stir in the blueberries, then add the milk, mixing only until large clumps form.
5. Use your hands to gently knead the mixture into one mass. Knead minimally to avoid breaking the blueberries.
6. Transfer the dough to a well-floured counter and pat it into a roughly 1-inch tall disc. Cut into 8 to 10 wedges.
7. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
8. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the scones are golden brown on top. Serve warm.
