Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Provides structure and texture for the scones.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar Enhances flavor and helps achieve a golden crust.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder Acts as a leavening agent.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavors and balances sweetness.

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Cold and cut into small cubes for flakiness.
  • 3/4 cup Milk Adds moisture to the dough.

Fruits

  • 1 cup Fresh blueberries Rinsed and patted dry to prevent excess moisture.

Optional

  • 1 each Egg Beaten, for brushing on top before baking (optional).

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add cold butter to the dry mixture and work it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Create a well in the center, pour in milk, and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until it holds together. Shape into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  • Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the tops with beaten egg if desired.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
