Blueberry Scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (75g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times. Pat the dough into a round disc, about 1 inch thick.
Cut the disc into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra cream.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Cool on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your homemade blueberry scones!
