Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
• 0.5 cup heavy cream, cold
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream, for brushing
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently press it into a disc about 8 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining tablespoon of heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
