How To Make blueberry scones

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil and grease with baking spray; set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, and vanilla; mix until thoroughly combined. Stir cream mixture into flour mixture and mix only until combined. Do not over-mix. Carefully fold in the blueberries.
Step 3

Flour your work area and turn out the dough. Sprinkle dough with more flour. Divide dough into 2 portions. Pat down each portion of dough to about a 6-inch round. Place on previously prepared baking sheet. Cut each round of dough into thirds or quarters.(size depends on your preference for scone size)
Step 4

place each scone on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with a SMALL amount of warm water and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Bake in center of the oven for 11 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 5

If you prefer a glaze, mix the powdered sugar and milk, adding milk slowly to obtain the desired thickness. Drizzle over cooled scones.
