Description
These Blackberry Scones are buttery, tender, and bursting with juicy blackberries. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat with tea or coffee.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- Coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the blackberries, being gentle to avoid crushing them too much.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently shape it into a 1-inch thick disk.
- Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen blackberries if fresh aren’t available; do not thaw before adding.
- Handle the dough gently to keep the scones tender.
- Add a lemon glaze for extra flavor.
