Preparation

Step 1

Combine and set aside:
1-3/4 cup frozen mixed berries
2 tbsp confectioner’s sugar

Cut the butter into the flour mixture below, using a food processor, pastry blender or knife. You will want small chunks of butter that will eventually melt in the oven.

8 tbsp of cold butter (one stick)
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

At this point I put the butter/flour mixture into the freezer so that the butter stays cold. (Not necessary)

Making a well into the flour/butter mixture, add the liquid ingredients*, mixing to combine the ingredients and make a dough. You might need to add more liquid.
* ½ cup milk and Med egg + one egg yolk

Limit the use of your hands so that you do not warm the dough. Either pat it into a circle or use a rolling pin. Cut into triangles and place of on a greased cookie sheet. At this point I place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator until I am ready to bake the scones. You can bake immediately or refrigerate the scones overnight.

Bake at 375 deg for 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven and apply a glaze of:
1½ tbsp butter
2/3 tbsp honey
