Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plain flour)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (¾ stick; chilled)
- 1 ½ cup blueberries (picture shows 2 cups, but I just needed 1 ½ cup)
- 1 large egg (50 g each w/o shell)
- 1 large egg yolk
- 7.5 oz Creme Fraiche
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- white sparkling sugar (for sprinkling; I did not have it today)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Preheat oven to 350°F (177ºC). For a convection oven, reduce cooking temperature by 25ºF (15ºC).
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to blend.
- Cut butter into small pieces.
- Add the butter in the bowl and rub in butter with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal.
- Whisk eggs, crème fraîche and vanilla.
- Gently stir crème fraîche mixture into flour mixture (dough will be very moist).
- Add the blueberries and mix well.
- Turn dough out onto generously floured work surface. Divide dough in half. Press each half into a 6-inch (15 cm) round, about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick. Cut each round into 6 wedges.
- Transfer wedges to the baking sheet, spacing 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Generously sprinkle sugar on top.
- Bake scones until pale golden and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Serve scones warm or at room temperature.

To Store
- To maximize the shelf life of scones, cover with foil or plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag to prevent drying out. Properly stored, freshly baked scones will last for about 1 to 2 days at normal room temperature.
