Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour (plus a few tablespoons extra)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1¾ cups heavy cream
- sanding sugar (or super-fine granulated sugar)
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Wash the blueberries and shake off the excess water. Place them in a small bowl with a few teaspoons of flour. Shake the bowl to coat the blueberries.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour with the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
- Measure out 1 3/4 cup of heavy cream. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the cream to a small dish and set aside. This will be used to brush the tops of the scones just before baking.
- Pour the remaining heavy cream into the flour mixture.
- Use a large spatula to fold the ingredients together.
- Once a loose ball of dough has formed, add the blueberries.
- Cover the dough with a towel and allow it to relax for about 5 minutes.
- Form 2 equal, round disks of the dough.
- Cut each disk into 8 wedges.
- Brush the top of each wedge with some of the reserved cream.
- Dip the wetted scones into either sanding sugar or granulated sugar.
- Place each wedge, sugar-side up, on a baking sheet.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes.
