EASY BLUEBERRY SCONES (FROZEN OR FRESH BERRIES)

Steps:

• Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Sift 1 to 2 times.
• In a small bowl mix eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla together. Set aside.
• Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Sift 1 to 2 times. Then add the cold grated butter. With a pastry cutter or fork, work the butter into the flour until small crumbs are formed. The flour should have a crumbly consistency.
• If Using Fresh Berries: toss them in with the flour mixture. Then make a well in the middle of the butter/flour mixture and pour in the wet mixture. If Using Frozen Berries: First make a well in the middle of the butter/flour mixture and pour in the wet mixture. Begin to mix a fork. Once it looks about halfway mixed, sprinkle the frozen berries over the dough mixture.
• With a fork or danish dough whisk, mix gently until all the ingredients are incorporated. Form into a disk about 2 inches tall. and cut into 8 wedges. You can also form into a rectangle, cut in half into two squares and then cut those two squares in half diagonally and then again to give you 8 wedges.
• Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet about a 1/2 inch apart. Place in the freezer for at least 10 minutes or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the scones are hard to the touch.
• Bake in 400° F preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until lightly brown. Just before baking, brush the scones with a little cream and a sprinkle of raw, turbinado sugar or coarse sugar if you like. It adds sparkle and a sweet little crunch. You can also drizzle these scones with a glaze. Mix a little lemon juice with some powdered sugar and mix until there are no lumps left. Drizzle over the scones after they have cooled for at least 5 minutes. They can be warm but not hot or the glaze will melt off the scone. Enjoy!

BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Method: In a large bowl sift in all dry ingredients and toss together, add cold cubes of butter or margarine. Start to work your butter into the dry ingredients with your hand or kitchen aid. Add 1 cup of milk and 2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice, mix together then pour it over dry ingredients and butter. Work together with your hand or kitchen aid until mixture starts to form a ball, then add your blueberries into the dough only fold them in so blueberries by hand. Sprinkle flour over counter top or wooden board, then roll out or press by hand to prevent blueberries from cracking. After cut into 12 medium wedges or 24 small wedges, place on a cookies sheet with parchment paper. Glaze Ingredients: 2 tsp, lemon juice and zest 4 to 6 tbsp, Confectionary icing sugar LEMON GLAZE METHOD: - In a small bowl add confectionary sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice together then mix well together, place in a mason jar if you don't use all and keep in the fridge. - Pour equal amounts of lemon glaze over cold or warm blueberry scones just before you are ready to serve them. Baking Tips: Toss Blueberries in 1/4 cup of flour to coat them. Do not over mix the blueberries because it will squeeze the juice out of them Bake in 350°F oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown, or depending on your oven. When baked remove from sprinkle with lemon glaze, serve hot or room temperature.

FROZEN BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add frozen butter and process until a fine crumb results and no hunks of butter are left.
• Transfer into the bowl of an electric stand mixer or a bowl for hand mixing. Add sour cream and egg. Set mixer on medium speed and blend until crumbs clump up and start to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Add blueberries and mix to combine.
• Take 1/2 of the dough and place on a floured surface. Shape with your hands, pushing blueberries in if they fall out, into a 1/2-inch thick disc, about 8 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 triangles and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on each scone.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops start to turn golden, 17 to 22 minutes.

THE BEST SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 and 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar**, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 and 1/2 tablespoons baking powder.
• Wet ingredients: In another medium bowl, add 1 egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla (omit for savory scones), 1/3 cup cream and 1/3 cup sour cream. Whisk it together. Set aside.
• Cut in butter: Now back to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter to cut in the COLD or frozen butter. You can also grate the butter using a cheese grater and mix it in that way. Cut the butter in until it is incorporated and there are still pieces of butter about the size of a pea. Don't overdo it! See photos.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to stir it together until it forms a shaggy dough.
• Coat your hands with flour and finish kneading the dough in as few strokes as possible. (Overworking the dough makes for a tough scone.) Use your hands to fold the dough on top of itself, creating more and more layers until it has come together and all the flour is incorporated. You can add a tablespoon or two of ice cold water if you think it's necessary. I try to get the dough to come together in 5-8 folds. Do your best and remember that you will get better with practice!
• Mix-ins: At this point add in any mix ins you plan to use. (If you want to add cream cheese like you can see in the photos, chop an 8 ounce block of cream cheese into 1/2 inch chunks. Coat with 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl, making sure all the cream cheese is coated. Carefully fold into the dough.)
• Prepare a work space with plenty of flour. I like to use a pastry cloth. Transfer the dough to the work place and use your hands to shape the dough into a 6 to 8 inch circle. I like really thick, tall scones. The thicker your circle of dough is, the taller your scones will be. If you added mix ins, your circle will be a bit larger.
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the circle in half. Cut each half into 3 equal triangles.
• Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Place the scones at least 3 inches apart from each other.
• Freeze for 30 minutes.*** If you don't have room in your freezer, you can put them in the fridge for 45 minutes. If you don't have room to chill a whole baking sheet, place the scones on a plate and then transfer to the baking sheet when they are frozen/cold.
• 15 minutes before the scones are done freezing, turn your oven on to 400 degrees F.
• Place the cold scones on a baking sheet if you haven't done so yet.
• Brush the top of each scone with cream. This will make the scones get nice and brown. Top each scone with coarse sugar if you like, or a bit of salt if you are doing savory scones.
• Bake: Put the scones in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
• Turn the heat down to 375 without opening the oven.**** Bake for another 8-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. DO NOT OVER BAKE. This is where the magic happens, so stay nearby. If you over bake your scones, they will be dry even if you did everything else right. If you are not sure, use a spatula to lift up one of the scones. If they are a nice golden brown on the bottom, they are done.
• Remove from the oven and let set up on the pan for 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the glaze: in a small bowl, whisk or use an electric beater to cream 2 tablespoons of very soft butter. Add 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon milk. Whisk together and add more milk until you have a consistency you like. Drizzle over the tops of the scones and let harden (it usually takes 20-30 minutes.)
• Top your scones with butter and jam! They are great reheated in the microwave.
• Store scones covered on the counter for 2-4 days. They are best eaten on day 1 so that you can get those crispy edges. After storing for a while it's hard to avoid a bit of sogginess. (Starbucks solves this problem but leaving them out in the air, but then eventually the center gets dried out. So, pick your poison. Or just eat all 6 scones single handedly on day 1. No judgment here.)

MY FAVORITE BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. See video above for a closer look at the texture. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together.
• Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the blueberries, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
• Pour onto the counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 more Tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges.
• Brush scones with remaining heavy cream and for extra crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar. (You can do this before or after refrigerating in the next step.)
• Place scones on a plate or lined baking sheet (if your fridge has space!) and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. After refrigerating, arrange scones 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
• Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before topping with vanilla icing.
• Leftover iced or un-iced scones keep well at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

BEST BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Work in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse meal with a few larger pieces remaining. Toss in the blueberries. Set aside.
• In a measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture. Gently stir with a rubber spatula until JUST combined and all appears to be moistened.
• Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface. With floured hands, gently and quickly knead the dough into a ball (sprinkle more flour if needed as you're kneading). It doesn't have to be smooth. Rough and shaggy is good.
• Pat into a 6″ circle and cut into 8 or 10 wedges and place 2″ apart onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Chill uncovered in the fridge for 20 minutes while you preheat your oven to 400F.
• Brush the tops of the scones with more buttermilk and bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before glazing.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients, adding in 1 tablespoon of cream or milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over scones.
