BLUEBERRY ALMOND DROP SCONES



Blueberry Almond Drop Scones image

Blueberry with almond is one of my favorite combos for breakfast bakes. Sneaking some toasted almond flour and citrus zest into these scones really makes their flavor shine. Sometimes I like to make these scones ahead of time, portioning the dough on sheet pans and popping them into the refrigerator until baking them the next morning.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (70 grams) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (30 grams) almond flour, toasted and cooled (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 lemon or 1/2 orange, zested
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen
1 heaping cup frozen blueberries
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted and cooled (see Cook's Note)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, cold
1 large egg, cold
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar or coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 half sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, almond flour, baking powder, salt and citrus zest until well combined.
  • Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the frozen butter into the flour. Use a rubber spatula to toss the butter evenly into the flour, breaking up any large bits. Add the berries and slivered almonds and toss into the flour.
  • Whisk together the cream, egg and vanilla in a small bowl, then pour into the flour-butter mixture. Stir and flatten the dough over itself until evenly moistened; some dry spots may remain -- that's OK. The dough will have the consistency of sticky cookie dough.
  • Use a scoop or measuring cup to portion out 6 mounded 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto each prepared sheet pan. Flatten the mounds ever so slightly.
  • For finishing: Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush onto the scones with a pastry brush. Sprinkle the scones with the finishing sugar.
  • Bake until deep golden and slightly springy when touched, 28 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway during baking. Let cool on the sheet pans until warm then transfer to a serving tray. The scones are best served warm or the day they are baked.

Time 31m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup dried blueberries
1/2 cup low-fat milk, plus more if needed
coarse sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add cut up butter and toss to coat. Using your finger tips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles very coarse sand. A few large bits are ok, but try not to have any pieces larger than an average pea.
  • Stir in dried blueberries. Add about 2/3 of the milk and stir. Add remaining milk gradually until the mixture comes together into a slightly sticky ball. Divide dough in eight even pieces and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a bit of coarse sugar, if desired.
  • Bake for 16-19 minutes, until scones are a light golden color. A toothpick should come out clean, but color is a reliable indicator for these.
