Description

This blueberry scone recipe makes rich, moist, fruity scones bursting with fresh juicy blueberries. They're perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup fresh blueberries
3/4 cup half-and-half cream
1 large egg

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add blueberries and toss to combine.
3 Whisk cream and egg together in a separate bowl until well combined; slowly pour into dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until a dough starts to form.
4 Transfer mixture to a lightly floured surface and knead just until it comes together, 3 or 4 times; don't overwork the dough. Divide dough in half, then form each half into a 6-inch round.
5 Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet and cut each round into 6 wedges.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
