Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup chilled butter
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoon sugar + extra to sprinkle over the scone
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or frozen
- ¼ cup milk you may need an extra tablespoon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- Milk for brushing the scones
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or dust it with flour.
- In a bowl, sift flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Add vanilla and butter, mix with 2 forks or a pastry cutter until it looks like breadcrumbs. My trick is to stab the flour and butter with a whisk; this works nicely too.
- Add the milk and fold gently.
- Add the blueberries to the dough and fold gently. Do not over mix.
- Dust your hands with flour and shape the dough to a 3/4-inch-high disk.
- Flour the sharp edge of a knife and cut the dough into 8 equal size slices.
- Brush the scones with milk and sprinkle sugar on top.
- Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
