Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 c all-purpose flour
1/3 c granulated white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 c butter, cut into pieces
1 c fresh blueberries
zest of one lemon (optional)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c cream or milk
extra cream, to brush on scones
STREUSEL TOPPING
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp butter, softened

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until crumbly. Mix in the blueberries and lemon zest. In a small bowl, combine the cream, egg and vanilla. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until all ingredients are moistened.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough gently four or five times and then pat the dough into a circle that is about 7 inches round and about 1&1/2 inches thick. Cut into triangles and place the scones on the baking sheet, or use a scone pan. Brush the tops of the scones with a little cream or milk.
3. In a small bowl, with a pastry blender or fork, mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter until crumbly. Top each scone with a teaspoon or two of the streusel mixture. Bake the scones until lightly browned on top, 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a scone comes out clean.

Tips:

Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will create a more flaky scone.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the scones rise evenly.
Bake the scones until golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top.
Serve the scones warm: Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Blueberry streusel scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. With their tender, flaky texture and sweet, juicy blueberries, they're sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these scones a try.
