Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Mixed fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, strawberries diced)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the mixed fresh berries, being careful not to crush them. The dough will be sticky.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the circle into 8 even wedges.

Step 8

Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Rich and Sweet Berry Scones!
