Description

Tender and buttery buttermilk blueberry scones packed with juicy berries, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Extra buttermilk and sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
  7. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with a little sugar.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Handle the dough gently to keep the scones tender.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough.
  • Serve warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream for a special treat.
