Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup VERY COLD unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups fresh berries I used a mix raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries
Lemon glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 1½ teaspoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Poppyseeds for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut 1 cup very cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture until the dough has a coarse crumb-like texture.
- Carefully stir 1 cup heavy cream and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into flour mixture. Stir until the liquid is incorporated into the flour mixture and until it forms a dough.
- Once dough is just beginning to cling together but is still somewhat shaggy, transfer to a lightly-floured surface. Sprinkle 1½ cups fresh berries over the dough, and lightly work the dough and berries together until combined.
- Divide the dough into 2 even pieces, and round each into a disk about 8" wide. Cut each into 8 wedges and transfer wedges to cookie sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
To make the lemon Glaze
- While the scones cool, in a small bowl whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1½ tablespoons lemon juice, 1½ teaspoon water, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Once scones are cooled, drizzle glaze lightly over the top of each scone. Allow it to sit and harden before serving. If desired top with Poppyseeds for sprinkling .
Notes
- * I prefer to freeze the butter, grate it using a box grater, and then cut it in that way. This method yields the flakiest scones, but is not mandatory -- you can use cold butter cut in with a pastry cutter.
- **frozen berries are easier/less-messy to incorporate into the dough, but either will work.
