Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose blend)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream, for brushing
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Be careful not to crush them.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the circle into 8 wedges (or desired shapes).
  • Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk or cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
