Rich Blueberry Scones
Rich and slightly sweet, blueberry scones are the ideal accompaniment to a ham omelet for a satisfying lunch.
Prep Time:
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 cup blueberries
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 large egg
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Cut in butter with a pastry blender. Add blueberries and stir gently.
Combine whipping cream and egg in a small bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Gradually, add to flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface 3 or 4 times.
Pat the dough to a 3/8-inch thickness. Cut into diamond shapes, about 2 x 21/2 inches each. Arrange scones on a baking sheet.
Bake scones until golden, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
Secret Tip
To serve these authentic blueberry scones the English way, split them like a biscuit and spread generously with strawberry jam. Then top the jam with a thick layer of whipped or clotted cream.
