Awhile back I made my first scones.... and while the first time they were a FLOP, the second time they turned out well. So, I wanted to try a basic blueberry scone. Nothing too sweet or complicated.... and I LOVE anything with blueberries! I used the basic ingredients from the first scones and switched this one up a bit. They worked really well and taste perfect.
Then, with a fork or pastry cutter, add your chilled butter (cut in pieces) to your dry mixture and "cut" the butter in until it resembles large bread crumbs. |
Mix an egg and heavy cream together and add to dry mixture.
Then add blueberries... or any other fruit/filling you'd like... and stir until it just comes together.
Turn your mixture out onto a cold surface. The mixture will be very crumbly.
Form into a circle with your hands and roll out slightly with a rolling pin. Cut into triangles.
Place scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Bake at 350 degrees until edges are slightly browning
Let scones cool completely and then ENJOY! ;)
Ingredients:
3 cups All Purpose flour
1/3 cups sugar
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter (chilled)
1 egg
3/4 cups heavy cream
