Report
Light and flaky Blueberry Scones flavored with a hint of vanilla and filled with fresh blueberries. This recipe uses simple ingredients and comes together quickly.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 tick butter cold, cut into small pieces
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries fresh
For the glaze
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prepare a baking sheet by spraying with non-stick spray or lining with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or fork, cut it into the flour until it resembles course crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yogurt, vanilla and ½ cup of the milk.
- Work the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until it comes together in a soft dough. Add a bit more milk as needed. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not wet.
- Add the blueberries and gently fold them into the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter top and, using your hands, press into a circle approximately 8 inches in diameter.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet leaving at least an inch of space between them.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Remove the scones to a cooling rack.
- Once cool, mix the powdered sugar with 3-4 teaspoons of milk to form the glaze. Drizzle over cooled scones and serve.
Notes
- Use cold butter, it makes scones flaky and light.
- Don’t overmix, and be as brief as possible when shaping into the rough circle.
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. Frozen berries will “bleed” into the batter, but it won’t affect flavor. Your scones will be more purple than white.
- How long will Blueberry Scones keep?
- Stored in an airtight container, they will keep well for about 3 days.
- Do they need to be refrigerated?
- Because of the fresh fruit, it is recommended to store them in the refrigerator.
- Do they freeze well?
- The scones will freeze very well. I suggest freezing them before adding the icing drizzle to the top of the scones.
