✅ Ingredients

SCONES:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 1 large egg (optional)
• 1 cup heavy cream

FLAVORING AND FINISHING:
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream optional

✅Instructions

1️⃣ 00:00:13 - In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2️⃣ 00:00:30 - Grate your butter using a cheese grater and stir into the flour mixture OR cut butter into small pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the fat into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal or sand.

3️⃣ 00:01:11 - Add in egg (if using), 1 cup cream, blueberries, and vanilla extract (or other flavorings) stirring until the dough just comes together.

4️⃣ 00:01:54 - Turn the dough out onto a clean countertop and form it into a ball.

5️⃣ 00:02:09 - Press the dough flat until it is 2-inch thick circle. Use a butter knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.

6️⃣ 00:02:18 - Place cut scones on an un-greased baking sheet and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons heavy cream.

7️⃣ 00:02:27 - Bake at 425 degrees for about 12-15 minutes, until the tops are nicely browned.

As a British person and a baker I can confirm these are American Scones nothing like English scones. Our scones are more like the American Biscuits but slightly sweet and the only 3 flavour options traditionally are plain, “fruit scones” which are dried currents and raisins or savoury cheese scones. Then sweet scones are traditionally served with clotted cream and Jam or butter. And they are always round, never triangle and never with icing.

I've made two batches of scones using your recipe and they have come out amazing. My family is loving every bite. Thank you for sharing.

As someone that has lived in the UK, scones are actually sweet bread buns, therefore they usually come in round shape, which are cut in half so ingredients like cream-frae, butter and jam can be spread on top. Also, their dough is usually plain or comes with pieces of dry fruits like sultana raisins. But overall I loved this version of scones recipe. It was very creative and it’s a nice treat to have around😊!!!

Barefoot in the kitchen I love it🤣🤣🤣🤣 I saw the reflection in the oven no there's nothing but love coming from that kitchen

[anastasiak]

I really love scones with ham and cheese. I add cheese and ham to the dough and then put it in the oven to bake. It is delicious! 😋

[Naweeya]

I made this recipe, blueberry one today and it came out amazing! It was very easy to make and surprise me with how delicious they were. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

[jadathomas]

very yummy thank you ! Substituted heavy cream with 1cup of milk and 1 tb of vinegar. Therefore changed the baking powder to 1 1/4 teaspoons and 1/4 baking soda

[highplainsliving]

Yumm! I am going to make several of these versions for church tomorrow. We have a lot of college students come, and they love home baked goodies. Thanks for the recipes!

[dustysqueaky]

My husband loves this recipe. I have made 3 batches each time and brings it to work 3x now. Thank you for this recipe

[francinelgumiela]

I made these blueberry scones. My first time at scones. Easy and delicious. Thank you.

[UBvtuber]

I tried this tonight and the results were super crumbly, soft, and light in the middle. It was absolutely delicious and my family loved it too.

[xjoy]

Omg i used your recipe. Coconut milk instead of milk and no egg.
They came out super bouncy! Though 12 minutes wasnt long enough (though i have an old not very good oven) so i left it for qnother 3-4 mins.

They are super duper soft and taste good.
Thank you so much!

[emmavictoriaopare]

I tried the blueberry scones with a touch of lemon zest in my glazing instead of vanilla and it was amazing. Thanks for your no fail recipe

[adamdoherty]

From UK here, most typical flavour I see is Raisin instead of Blueberry but all your versions looked great too!

Cut em in half and top with butter, jam and cream!

I use a mandoline instead of a grater for the butter, for two reasons: it's easier to clean, and the slices of butter mimic the traditional layers better than grated, making my scones flakier. Thank you for your wonderful recipes.

[FreyaFreyaWillow]

Thank you for this recipe! I want to try making a version with apples and raisins. Or just apple scones without any raisins. 🍎

[ptcharlee]

I made this scones without the egg and they were delicious, now i gotta try with the egg, thank you so much for the recipe. It is Fantastic!
