Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 cup of fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
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 of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
