In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, lemon zest, baking soda, salt, and ginger. Grate in the frozen butter with a box grater; toss until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cream, 1 egg, and vanilla extract; stir into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly dough and just until no dry pockets of flour remain. Stir in 1 cup unthawed blueberries.

Pour the crumbly dough onto the prepared baking sheet; press it together firmly to form a cohesive 8-inch circle. Flatten the top so the circle is even. Cut into 8 triangular pieces; space the pieces 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.

Whisk 1 egg and water together in a small bowl; gently brush the mixture over the tops of each scone.

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Press 1/4 cup thawed blueberries through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl using the back of a wooden spoon to extract 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice. Discard the skins and seeds. Whisk confectioners' sugar and lemon juice into the blueberry juice until smooth; drizzle over the cooled scones.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
