Blueberry Classic Scones
Created by: Howcan Team
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
- 1/2 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 all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- 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 lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little extra cream. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar if desired.
- Bake for 15-18 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 to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Classic scones have been a beloved British treat for centuries, with their origins dating back to the early 1500s. These delightful pastries were traditionally served during afternoon tea, and their popularity quickly spread across the globe. The addition of blueberries to this classic recipe adds a burst of fruity flavor and a delightful pop of color, elevating the scones to a new level of deliciousness. In the quaint countryside of England, skilled bakers carefully craft scones using time-honored techniques, ensuring a perfect balance of flakiness and tenderness. The addition of plump, juicy blueberries infuses the scones with a delightful sweetness, making them a delightful treat for any time of day. Today, the best versions of classic scones with added blueberries can be found in charming tea rooms and bakeries throughout England, where talented pastry chefs take pride in creating these delectable pastries. The key to achieving scone perfection lies in using high-quality ingredients, such as fresh blueberries and rich, creamy butter, to ensure a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. When making classic scones with added blueberries, it's essential to handle the dough with care, gently folding in the blueberries to prevent them from bursting and discoloring the dough. This ensures that each bite is filled with bursts of juicy blueberry goodness. Whether enjoyed with a dollop of clotted cream and a spoonful of fruity jam or simply savored on their own, these scones are a delightful indulgence for any occasion.
