• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (softened, for streusel topping)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in 1/2 cup of cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries, being careful not to squash the berries.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently shape it into a 7-inch round disk, about 1 inch thick. Cut the disk into 8 triangular wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

To make the streusel topping, mix 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of softened butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream, then sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over each scone.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
