Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.333 cup granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup blackberries, fresh
- 0.5 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently stir in the fresh blackberries, being careful not to crush them.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently mix until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix!
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick disc. Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the scones to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or clotted cream. Enjoy!
