A simple and delicious recipe capable of turning anyone into a morning person.
Blueberry Scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter cold, cut in chunks
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup heavy cream plus more for brushing scones
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Sift together dry ingredients. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in butter to coat pieces with flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold blueberries into batter. To avoid greenish-blue scones, do not mash or bruise blueberries. Make a well in center and pour in heavy cream. Gently fold everything together to just incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
- Press dough out onto lightly floured surface, into a rectangle about 12 x 3 x 1 1/4 inches. Cut rectangle in half, then cut pieces in half again, resulting in 4 (3-inch) squares. Cut squares in half on diagonal to form triangle shapes.
- Place scones on ungreased cookie sheet and brush tops with a little heavy cream. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Let scones cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy!
