  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 scones

Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cut into pieces)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup mixed berries (any combination)

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to prepare for baking the scones.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cut in butter: Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring a flaky texture.
  4. Mix wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 cup of buttermilk.
  5. Form dough: Gradually add the egg and buttermilk mixture to the flour and butter, stirring and adding extra buttermilk as needed until the dough just sticks together.
  6. Fold in berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the dough, being careful not to break them too much to retain their shape.
  7. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat for easy removal.
  8. Shape dough: Shape the dough into two round circles about 1/2 to 3/4-inch high directly on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Chill dough: Refrigerate the entire baking sheet for about 30 minutes until the dough is very cold to help the scones keep their shape while baking.
  10. Cut dough: Remove dough from refrigerator and cut each circle into 6 triangles. Position the scones at least 1-2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  11. Bake scones: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer scones to a cooling rack.
  12. Prepare vanilla glaze: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  13. Glaze scones: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled scones as much as desired.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and chill the dough to ensure flaky, tender scones.
  • Any mixed berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries work well.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep scones light and crumbly.
  • You can adjust milk quantity in the glaze for desired consistency.
  • Serve scones fresh for best texture and flavor.
