Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries (or frozen, if unavailable)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Extra granulated sugar for sprinkling
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the blueberries gently to avoid bursting them.
- In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a disk about 1 inch thick.
- Cut into wedges or use a round cutter to shape scones, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Let the scones rest for 10 minutes, then brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving warm.
