Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons Butter, cold
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Grate cold butter into the flour mixture, and mix gently with your hands to incorporate the butter.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, egg, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix gently with a rubber spatula until the dough starts to come together.
  4. Gently mix in blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  5. Pat the scone dough out into an 8-inch circle about 1 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 wedges, and place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 15-17 minutes, until light golden brown.

Notes

  • Make ahead of time. Shape the scones, cover the pan with plastic, and store them in the fridge overnight to be baked in the morning.
  • To freeze, place the shaped dough on a baking sheet then put it in the freezer. Once the scones are solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe storage container for up to 4 weeks.
  • STORE cooled scones in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
