Blueberry Scones

Ingredients

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup (75g) granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

3. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.

5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

6. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times. Pat the dough into a round disc, about 1 inch thick.

7. Cut the disc into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

8. Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra cream.

9. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

10. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
