Description

The perfect berry scone!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ⅓ cups Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 5 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 sticks Butter, Chilled
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ¾ cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup (Heaping) Of Blueberries

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).

First, in a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.

Then, with a fork or pastry cutter, “cut” in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles large bread crumbs.

Mix the egg and heavy cream together and add to the dry mixture. Also add a heaping cup of blueberries to the mixture and mix together until just combined.

Turn mixture out onto a cold, clean surface and shape into a circle. Flatten with your hands and then roll out with a rolling pin to desired thickness. Cut into wedges.

Place wedges onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. Bake for 20 minutes or until edges start to turn brown. Baking time will vary depending on oven and thickness of dough.

Let cool completely and enjoy!

What a wonderful recipe! The only thing I did different – which was purely by accident was not adding the blueberries while I was incorporating the wet/dry ingredients — I was worried about squishing the blueberries – so the one’s that weren’t getting mixed in the dough – I was making pinky indentions and then placing a blueberry in the indention :)…I also baked it in a round — but may try cutting into wedges next time. I normally just score the top and cut through after it is finished baking. The dough baked reminds me of shortbread cookies in taste – especially the browned edges. I tend to make mine thicker — but making it thicker reduces the number of servings…and my husband and I will have to split the last piece (mine made 9 pieces). I think I may another batch tonight with the rest of my blueberries — I also want to share a few pieces with friends at my office. :) I shared this recipe on Jamie Oliver’s YOU app – when I posted a picture of mine and someone wanted the recipe. I will be sure to make it again. I also sprinkled sugar on it after I took it out of the oven, but in the past have sprinkled on scones before baking.

Excellent! I have a habit of substituting spelt flour for half of the flour and greek yogurt for half of the butter or oil in baked good recipes. I didn’t know if it would work with this one, but I tried it anyway. They were wonderful! They would be even more diving with some whipped cream, or coarse sugar sprinkled on top before cooking. Thanks, Celia!!

I used this base (halved) to make mixed berry scones and I added a powdered sugar drizzle. I should probably lock myself out of the house, otherwise there will be none left for my husband tonight!

Delicious! We added a cinnamon topping (1/2 c. sugar, heaping teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1-1/2 tsp. cream) before we baked it. Moist, tasty, and even better later in the day than hot from the oven!

I halved the recipe but still used a whole egg. They turned out great! Even my husband loved them! I think he ate more than I did :) Thanks for the yummy recipe.
