Blueberry Scones

Soft, tender scones bursting with juicy blueberries and a delicate buttery crumb. Lightly sweet and perfectly balanced, they feel just a little more special than everyday baking. These are the kind of treats you make not just for tea time, but whenever you want something cozy and homemade — because as the Mad Hatter said, “It’s always time for tea.” 

Ingredients (for 16 scones)

• 4 cups flour (500 g)

• 1/2 cup sugar (125 g)

• 2 tsp baking powder

• a pinch of salt

• 250 g cold butter

• 1 cup heavy cream (35%) (240 ml)

• 2 tsp vanilla

• 1 cup frozen blueberries

• powdered sugar (optional)

Steps

1. Mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder

2. Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture using a coarse grater

3. Rub the butter into the flour mixture using a mixer

4. Add cream and vanilla and quickly form the dough (scones do not require long mixing)

5. Divide the dough into 2 parts

6. Roll each part into a disk, about 1.5–2 cm thick (on a floured surface)

7. Sprinkle blueberries on top and gently press them into the dough

8. Cut each disk into 8 equal parts (like a pizza)

9. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired
