Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Pastry Cutter
  • Fork
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Whisk
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 1/3 sticks cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • melted unsalted butter for brushing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted, for icing
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk for icing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and eggs until fully combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; dough should be slightly sticky.
  • Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them apart.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles or use a round cutter to create scone shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with melted unsalted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove scones from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Prepare glaze by mixing sifted powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of whole milk until desired consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled scones.

Notes

  • Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to keep fresh.
  • Freeze unbaked scones for longer storage; bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to baking time.
  • Reheat leftover scones in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes to restore freshness.
