easy blueberry scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Coarse sugar optional, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in butter: Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Combine wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla.
  • Mix together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
  • Add blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  • Shape: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into an 8-inch circle, about 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place on the baking sheet.
  • Finish: Brush the tops with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if you like.
  • Bake: 18–22 minutes, until golden and set. Cool slightly before enjoying!
