Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

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.

These scones are a bit pricey to make, but they're worth it for a special occasion.

I'm allergic to blueberries, so I used raspberries in these scones instead. They turned out great!

These scones are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast. I usually make a double batch and freeze half of them for later.

I made these scones for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved them and asked for the recipe.

These scones are a great way to use up fresh blueberries. I also added a handful of chopped walnuts to the streusel topping for a little extra crunch.

These scones were a disaster. They were dry and crumbly, and the streusel topping was too hard. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of blueberries, but I loved these scones. The streusel topping is amazing and the scones themselves are moist and fluffy.

These scones are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The streusel topping is the perfect finishing touch.
