Time 1h20m

Yield 16 scones, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 ounces cold unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup fresh blueberries or 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment, or grease them with butter.
  • Chop the butter into 1/4-inch pieces. (It is important to make the pieces no larger than 1/4 inch because they are difficult to make any smaller once frozen.) Spread on a plate and place in the freezer until hard, about 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
  • Add the butter, and chop with two butter knives or a pastry blender until it is well blended and some of the butter is crumbly. Mix in the pecans.
  • Gradually add the buttermilk, 1/3 cup at a time, and mix gently until all ingredients are incorporated but not completely blended. You might not use up all of the liquid. The end result should be a shaggy mass.
  • Sprinkle the blueberries on top of the dough and only mix enough to evenly distribute the berries.
  • Gently form the dough into 1/3-cup balls and place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. (You may freeze the balls at this point and bake them later. Once frozen, place scones in freezer storage bags.).
