3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a
pastry blender, or two knives, cut in butter until the
largest pieces are the size of small peas. Stir in blueberries
and zest. |

Using a fork, whisk together the cream
and the eggs in a liquid measuring cup. Make a well in
the center of dry ingredients, and pour in cream mixture.
Stir lightly with fork just until dough comes together.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead a few
times to mix well. |

form eight triangles. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
Brush tops with cream, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until
golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer scones from baking
