How to Make Blueberry Scones
To begin, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your scones cook perfectly and are golden brown on top. 🏠
In a mixing bowl, combine your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to stir these dry ingredients until they are well-mixed. Add in your cold butter and cut it into the dry mixture using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The key to a flaky scone is using cold butter, so be sure it stays chilled! ❄️
Next, gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Now, in a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir it gently with a spoon until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough; it should be a bit crumbly. 💧
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disk. Gently press down on it to flatten it slightly, then cut it into a triangle shape (like a pizza!) for easy serving. 🥧
Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For a golden finish, brush the top of the scone with a little extra milk. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown. When done, take the scone out and let it cool slightly before serving. 🍴
Enjoy your warm, buttery blueberry scone with a cup of tea or coffee! ☕🫐
