Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a circular disk about 1-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges, separating them slightly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional: Brush the top of the scones with additional heavy cream for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use Cold Ingredients: For the flakiest scones, make sure your butter is cold and cubed. This helps create those delicious layers as they bake!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough scones.
- Fresh Blueberries: If possible, use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen, do not thaw them beforehand to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
- Cut Evenly: When cutting the dough into wedges, try to make them as even as possible for uniform baking.
- Add a Glaze: For an extra touch of sweetness, consider drizzling a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the cooled scones.
- Serve Warm: These scones are best enjoyed warm out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to mix in other ingredients like lemon zest or nuts to customize your scones to your liking!
