Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries (or frozen, if unavailable)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the blueberries gently to avoid bursting them.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  6. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a disk about 1 inch thick.
  8. Cut into wedges or use a round cutter to shape scones, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  9. Let the scones rest for 10 minutes, then brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
