Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all purpose flour
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup (157g) fresh blueberries

For finishing:

  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream or whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat.
  • Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Cut butter into small pieces and place it in the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter throughout. Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture.
  • In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk eggs with whipping cream. Pour into the well in the center of the flour mixture. Add blueberries. Use a fork to stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened and the dough is shaggy.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead dough until it is nearly smooth, about 10-12 folds in on itself. Press into an 8-inch disc and cut into 8 wedges.
  • Place scones on prepared cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Brush the wedges with 1 tablespoon whipping cream or milk and sprinkle with a bit of coarse sugar (or sanding sugar). Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to the dough. Just make sure any ice crystals are removed.
