Blueberry-Almond Scones image

These classic bakery treats couldn't be easier to make at home. Simple swaps take them in new directions, so try Cream Scones with Currants, Chocolate-Coconut Scones, Cherry-Hazelnut Scones, or Lemon-Ginger Scones.

Time 25m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold heavy cream
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup blueberries
1 cup toasted sliced almonds
Sanding sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together 3/4 cup cream, egg, and vanilla. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Stir in blueberries and almonds. With a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

I thought these scones were a bit too dry. I think I should have added a bit more milk to the batter.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I should have used a bit more baking powder in the batter.
