If you're a fan of baked goods that are sweet, fluffy, and full of flavor, you're in for a treat! Learn how to make the most delicious and buttery Blueberry Scones. These scones are perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea, or even as a sweet snack to share with family and friends.
Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will ensure the scones are light and flaky.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk (or cream). Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the dough just begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture.
Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the dough. If you’re worried about the blueberries bursting, lightly dust them with flour before adding them to the dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges (like a pizza) or use a round cookie cutter for uniform scones.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. You can drizzle them with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk for a sweet finishing touch.
