Bobbette & Belle's Blueberry Scones

By Grammie926

This simple scone recipe is great to make-ahead for brunch or high tea for your friends. Any frozen berries could work when fresh local ones are not in-season. Bobbette & Belle serves these scones with clotted cream but I plan to serve these with whipped honey butter.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375F and place rack in middle of oven.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add butter using a pastry blender to pressing with a fork until it forms a coarse, crumbly texture. Add buttermilk and vanilla; stir until dough forms. Do not overmix.
3. Portion dough into 6 to 8 equal parts. Add blueberries while forming a thick disc with each portion. Do not overhandle once blueberries have been added.
4. Place on baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from sheet and transfer to wire rack to cool.
5. Dust with icing sugar once cooled.
