Description

*This is a basic recipe for scones. I used it to make blueberry scones, however it can be used to make plain scones or can be flavored however you desire. If you prefer a scone that is not very sweet, cut down on the sugar to 1/3 or 1/4 cup. See the post notes for other ideas on how to flavor the scones.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 TBSP baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup very cold unsalted butter, cut into very small cubes
  • 1 large egg, cold
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or other mix-in (optional)
  • a few tablespoons of additional heavy cream for brushing the tops
  • turbinado sugar for sprinkling the tops

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and any other herbs or spices you may choose to add until well combined.
  • Add the pieces of cold butter and cut into the dough using a pastry cutter or a fork until the texture or coarse meal. Toss your berries or other mixins if using throughout the mixture at this point.
  • Lightly whisk together the heavy cream, the egg, and any zests or extracts you may decide to use. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Lay the dough out on a lightly floured work surface and lightly knead with a lightly floured hand about 4 times. Pat the dough out to an 8 or 9 inch circle (about 1 inch thick) and cut into 8 triangle shaped pieces.
  • Gently transfer the scones onto a parchment paper or silicone baking mat lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with cream and sprinkle liberally with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. If desired, sprinkle with extra turbinado sugar for more texture.
  • Store leftovers completely cooled in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
