• Preheat oven to 400°
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder
​
• In a separate bowl, stir sugar with lemon zest until zest is well coated. Add flour mixture to the bowl
• Cut cold butter into cubes and add to bowl using your hands or a pastry cutter until it is well blended but has chunks of the butter throughout
• In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, egg, 1 tsp vanilla, and half of lemon juice
• Add sour cream mixture to the dough, along with blueberries. Gently stir until combined, being careful not to over mix.
