Mini Blackberry Cream Scones image

Wild blackberries grow rampant in the Northwest. The brambles are huge and are defensive in keeping their fruit. The sweet, juicy, berries are very worth the scrapes and scratches received in picking them. Of course you could just buy them but, somehow, it's just not the same.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup(s) flour
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) blackberries (fresh or frozen)
3 tablespoon(s) cold butter, cut into small chunks
1/4 cup(s) + 1 tbsp cream
- for glaze:
1/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
2 teaspoon(s) cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter with your fingers and work mixture together until it resembles coarse sand. Add the blackberries.
  • Add the cream and mix with your hands until a dough forms. Make an small circle with the dough and slice into 8 small wedges (each wedge should be only about two-three inches). Place wedges on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
  • To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and cream. Scoop into a plastic bag, snip off the tip and drizzle over the cooled scones.
  • Serve with hot tea, a good book and a cozy blanket.
