Blueberry Scones!

One little trick I learned long ago is to freeze the butter and then grate it into the dough with a cheese grater. Eliminates the need to handle it much so it keeps it really cold.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
⅓ cup granulated sugar plus more for sprinkling (66g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter cubed (113g)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (6oz / 170g)
zest of 1 lemon
¾ cup heavy cream (180mL)
1 large egg
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and work into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or by pressing the pieces between your fingers until they are about the size of peas. Stir in the blueberries and lemon zest.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and egg. Pour over the flour mixture. Mix together with your hands or a silicone spatula just until the mixture is mostly moistened (it should still be a little crumbly).
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times to shape it into a ball. Press the dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
Place wedges on a small parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F.
Transfer scones to a large baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart. Brush lightly with more cream and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned and the bottom edges are golden. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure to measure the flour correctly. If you add too much flour, the dough becomes dry, and the blueberry scones won’t rise and become crumbly after baking.
The ideal way to measure flour is with a scale. If you don’t have one, then fluff your flour with a spoon, sprinkle it into your measuring cup, and use a knife to level it off.
The butter must be cold. When the scones go into the oven, the pieces of butter will melt, leaving you with flaky laters.
Avoid over-working the dough. You don’t want gluten to form! The more you knead, the more gluten will form, and you’ll be left with chewy scones.
Flour the knife or bench scraper to help the dough from sticking when cut. You can flour your hands as well.
Press straight down with the cutter and don’t twist; twisting seals the edge and prevents the scones from rising properly.
If using frozen blueberries, add them directly into the dough from frozen. The bake time may increase by a few minutes since you’re starting out with much colder fruit, but the cold fruit will help the scones freeze better, so it’s a win!
If you’re using frozen fruit for these blueberry scones, add the blueberries at the last minute to prevent their juices from bleeding into the dough.
When shaping the dough, avoid compressing the dough. Just gently pat the dough’s edge.

This is so beautiful, I almost teared up! 😅 thanks so much for your beautiful contribution to youtube. We appreciate you and your baking here!

Even unbaked, they look delicious! ❤️

Try coating the blueberries in flour first before you fold them in the dough, it should keep them from sinking to the bottom when you bake the scones. It works for chocolate chip cookies too.

[TheShurikenZone]

I'm from the South, and I make biscuits (and scones) exactly like this. Work it as little as possible, fold it three times. Perfect. 👍👍

My favorite- not all scones are equal, but these look amazing!☺️👌🏽

My husband made these this morning, they are DELICIOUS! He followed the recipe exactly, they are so soft on the inside with a little crunch from the sugar on the outside 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Thank you for a wonderful recipe ❤

I didn’t realize scones didn’t have leavening. Thanks. They look exquisite!🎉

Frozen wild blueberries will be 10x more delicious than regular fresh ones. Trust me.

[FallenSummer]

Mmmm. Yum! Blueberries have so many health benefits. Just an added bonus it's delicious to bake 🌞

Why did I see this right before sleeping? How am I supposed to sleep now? Gonna dream about it

My goodness, the scones are a work of art and I noticed your video is a work of art as well! I love your channel.
