Wild Blueberry Scones
Report
If you like scones that are tender, moist, and flaky all at the same time, this blueberry scones recipe is just that. The dough is very slightly sweet, and when baked, has a lovely thin crisp exterior.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- 4 tablespoons sugar divided
- .5 cup 1 stick cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- dried wild blueberry You could substitute dried currants, raisins, cherries or cranberries.
- buttermilk Use buttermilk only, do not substitute
- 1 egg lightly beaten, large
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
- With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in dried blueberries. Make a well in the center; add buttermilk and egg, and stir just until combined (do not overmix).
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead 5 or 6 times. Pat into an 8″ disk. With a floured 2-1/2″ biscuit cutter, cut out rounds. Reroll and cut scraps once more.
- Transfer to a baking sheet, about 1-1/2″ apart. Brush rounds with milk; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake until scones are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- These are best eaten on the same day. The unbaked dough freezes really well, enabling you to store them in your freezer and bake them up fresh when desired. Just cut the dough into rounds and place in the freezer. On the day you want to bake them, take them directly from the freezer to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper (do not thaw first), brush with milk, and sprinkle with sugar. You will need to bake the frozen dough a bit longer, adding about 4 or 5 minutes to the regular baking time.
