These blueberry scones are buttery, moist and loaded with pockets of jammy blueberries. They are beautifully golden and crunchy on the outside and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface and kneading
4 tbsp (50g) granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (see notes below if using frozen)
½ cup (114g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
⅔ cup (167ml) cold buttermilk, plus more for brushing top of scones
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2-4 tbsp milk or cream

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Work in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse meal with a few larger pieces remaining. Toss in the blueberries. Set aside.
  • In a measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture. Gently stir with a rubber spatula until JUST combined and all appears to be moistened.
  • Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface. With floured hands, gently and quickly knead the dough into a ball (sprinkle more flour if needed as you're kneading). It doesn't have to be smooth. Rough and shaggy is good.
  • Pat into a 6″ circle and cut into 8 or 10 wedges and place 2″ apart onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Chill uncovered in the fridge for 20 minutes while you preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with more buttermilk and bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before glazing.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients, adding in 1 tablespoon of cream or milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over scones.
