Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup blueberries
• 0.5 cup raspberries
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the blueberries and raspberries carefully to avoid breaking them.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disc approximately 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

If desired, lightly brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for added crunch and sweetness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
