BLACKBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 F.
• Ina medium bowl, measure out 2 cups of self-rising flour.
• If you don't have self-rising flour in your kitchen, use this: 2 cups flour + 1 tbsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
• Add the blackberries and sugar to this mixture and stir together.
• I kept the blackberries whole for this scone recipe because I love big juicy bites of cooked blackberries studded throughout the scone.
• Plus blackberries get crazy messy if you try to cut them in half, so there's that.
• Measure out 1 ½ cups whipping cream into a measuring cup, pour into the flour mixture, and stir.
• Use your hands to gather the dough together (use a bit of extra flour on your hands if it's too sticky), and put it onto a sprayed baking sheet.
• Pat the dough into a circle about ¾" thick.
• Slice into 8 wedges.
• Bake at 475F for 12-15 minutes until golden on top, and until the middle of the scones is cooked.
• Enjoy your scones!

BLACKBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk the milk and the egg together until frothy and then set aside. In a large bowl, blend the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and blend the mixture with your hands until you have no lumps larger than a pea. Add the sugar and the blackberries and toss about until the blackberries are coated with the flour mixture. Add the egg mixture slowly until the dough comes together. Leave any remaining egg mixture to brush on as glaze.
• Turn dough out onto a clean counter and knead it no more than 12 times. Pat dough into a round approximately 1/2 an inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges. Place on an ungreased baking sheet or a Silpat. Using a pastry brush, glaze wedges with remaining egg mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

BLACKBERRY PEACH COBBLER SCONES

Steps:

• For the scones: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Fold in the blackberries and peaches. In a measuring cup, whisk together 1/2 cup of the buttermilk and the eggs and add to the flour mixture, stirring gently to combine.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface dusted with flour and press into a 9-by-6-inch rectangle. Use a bench scraper or knife to make the sides even, then cut the dough into 6 equal pieces (3-inch squares). Cut each square on the diagonal into triangles and transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with the coarse sugar. Brush the top of each scone with the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the baking sheet with the scones in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, put the blackberries, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until blackberries are softened and the sugar is dissolved, 5 to 8 minutes, mashing as needed to break up the berries.
• Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl, pressing with a rubber spatula to release all the juice. Let cool slightly, then whisk in the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice until smooth. If necessary, add extra lemon juice a teaspoon at a time to adjust the consistency of the glaze.
• Bake the chilled scones until golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then drizzle with the glaze.

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter with your fingers and work mixture together until it resembles coarse sand. Add the blackberries.
• Add the cream and mix with your hands until a dough forms. Make an small circle with the dough and slice into 8 small wedges (each wedge should be only about two-three inches). Place wedges on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
• To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and cream. Scoop into a plastic bag, snip off the tip and drizzle over the cooled scones.
• Serve with tea and a good book!

BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 and line a baking tray with parchment. To make the scones, put the flour, baking powder, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and mix together to combine. Add the butter and use your fingers to rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs (don't rub too thoroughly; some larger lumps are preferable). Add the blueberries and toss together.
• In a small jug, mix together the cream, vanilla and eggs, and pour into the mixture. Use a cutlery knife to stir together until the mixture starts to form a dough. Tip onto the work surface and use your hands to gently knead until the dough just comes together. Lightly flour your work surface and flatten the dough into a disc about 2.5cm thick. Use a sharp knife to cut it into eight triangles.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking tray. Beat the remaining egg, then lightly brush it over the top of each scone. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 mins or until deep golden brown. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
