Preparation steps

Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, mix 2 cups flour, granulated sugar, orange zest, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together. Reduce mixer speed to low, add the butter and mix until the butter is crumbly.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, reserving 1 Tablespoon for an egg wash. Add the buttermilk to the remaining eggs. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the egg and buttermilk mixture to the flour and butter mixture, mixing until just blended. Dust the blueberries with the remaining 1/4 cup flour; gently fold the blueberries into the dough mixture, stirring by hand until blended.

Place the dough on a well-floured work surface or board and knead it for one minute and divide it in half. Flour your rolling pin and roll out each half into a 7-inch circle. Divide each circle into 6 wedge-shaped pieces using a knife or pizza cutter. You will see small bits of butter in the dough. Place the cut dough on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush each scone with the reserved egg. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. The scones should be firm to the touch. Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes. Serve.
