Servings: 8 scones
Calories: 278kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter cold, cubed
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the scones from sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in the Butter. 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.
- Add the Wet Ingredients. 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.
- Fold in the Blueberries. 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.
- Shape 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.
- Bake the 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.
- Cool and Serve. 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.
