Blueberry Almond Scones
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries and sliced almonds.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
