    In large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lime peel. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture is crumbly. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla until dough forms. Fold in blackberries, gently smashing berries into dough.

    Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix glaze ingredients. Drizzle over scones. Serve warm.

  • If you don’t have buttermilk, use 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar plus whole or low-fat milk to make 1/2 cup.
  • Freeze the butter before cutting into the flour mixture for a flakier scone.
