Blueberry Scones
AuthorPriyanka SivaramakrishnanDifficultyBeginnerLight, fluffy, moist fresh blueberry scones that just melt in your mouth. Easy to make with no complicated ingredients.
Pre-heat the oven to 400 F and line the baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Take the butter out of the freezer and grate it. I usually use the grater with bigger holes, so that the butter pieces are not too small that they melt away at the slightest touch.
Use two spoons or a pastry cutter to blend the butter with the rest of the dry ingredients, till it looks like a coarse meal.
In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla essence. Slowly pour it over the flour mix and gently bring it together with a rubber spatula. Remember not to over work the dough.
Gently fold in the blueberries. Pat your hands with flour and work the dough into a ball. Place it on the silicon mat and flatten it slowly into a 8" disc.
Cut into 8 wedges with a sharp knife. You can sprinkle some granulated sugar on top if you like.
Bake for about 20-25 mins. Keep a watch from the 20th minute. If it turns golden, it's done.
Cool for a few minutes, preferably on a windowsill, before serving.
