The secret to making delicate scones is handling the dough as little as possible. Another tip: If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute 1/2 cup plain yogurt whisked with 2 tablespoons milk.

Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour, (not self-rising)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup (1/2 pint) blueberries
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg lightly beaten for egg wash
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter, or rub in with your fingers, until mixture has the texture of coarse meal. Stir in blueberries.
  • Whisk together buttermilk, 1 egg, and the vanilla. Drizzle over flour mixture, and stir lightly with a fork until dough comes together but a small amount of flour remains in bowl.
  • Turn out dough onto a work surface, and gently knead dough once or twice just to incorporate flour. Pat dough into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 12 wedges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 22 minutes. Transfer scones to wire racks to cool.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons white sugar, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup butter, cut into chunks
1 cup fresh blueberries
¾ cup buttermilk
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
  • Whisk flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir blueberries and buttermilk into the flour mixture until combined.
  • Gather dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured board for 2 minutes. Then roll dough out into a 3/4-inch-thick slab. Cut into 3-inch triangles with a sharp knife and distribute scones evenly onto the prepared baking sheets. Brush tops with egg white and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from the baking sheets and place on cooling racks. Dust tops with powdered sugar; serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries work well too. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before mixing them into the dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the scones to rise evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm, fresh out of the oven. You can also store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

These blueberry buttermilk scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a quick grab-and-go breakfast during the week. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious scones anytime you want.
