- 2. NOTE: The first thing I do is to dice the butter and then I put it in the freezer while I prepare the other ingredients. I was told at the Cafe Louisa that this is the trick to a nice flakey scone.
- 3. Combine the flour, sugar, dry milk, salt and baking powder in a bowl; add orange zest if desired.
- 4. Cut diced butter into dry ingredients.
- 5. Whisk together the eggs, vanilla and half and half; add to dry ingredients. Fold in blueberries. Work with hands to keep from crushing the blueberries. Pat into round pan; cut into six wedges; egg-wash. NOTE: I sprinkle a surface with flour and pat dough into a 9 to 10-inch circle and cut into 6 to 8 wedges. If you cut 6 wedges, they will be very large wedges. Bake for approximately 35 minutes.
- 6. EGG WASH: Whisk together egg and cream and brush on top of scones. Sprinkle with sugar if desired
