Ingredients

Scale
For the Scones:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ½ cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Glaze (Optional):

 

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare:

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Cut in Butter:

    • Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Combine Wet Ingredients:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

  5. Form the Dough:

    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
    • Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

  6. Shape & Cut Scones:

    • Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a circle (about 8 inches wide, 1-inch thick).
    • Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Brush tops with heavy cream for a golden crust.

  7. Bake:

    • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
    • Let cool for 10 minutes before glazing (if using).

  8. Make the Glaze (Optional):

    • Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • Drizzle over cooled scones and serve.

Notes

  • For extra flakiness, freeze the scones for 15 minutes before baking.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to the dough.
  • Swap heavy cream for buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
