Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
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.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the mixed fresh berries, being careful not to crush them. The dough will be sticky.
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.
Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Rich and Sweet Berry Scones!
