A perfect tea time scone with Blueberries. It has a crunchy outer layer with fluffy texture inside.
When I tried it for the first time it was super duper flop. I guess, I added more butter and little extra baking soda. The kneaded dough was super sticky with more quantity. When I baked it, he he he it lost it’s shape and was spread across the whole baking tray. I was very disappointed.I just threw them away. So this time I tried with less quantity. Surprise !!! it turned out really good. I used fresh blueberry for the first time, but now I used dry blueberry, somehow i liked dry ones better than the fresh ones. May be I should try some more times to get it exactly.
Ingredients : | |
---|---|
All Purpose Flour | 1 cup |
Granulated / Powdered Sugar | 1/8 cup |
Baking Powder | 1/2 tbsp |
Salt | a pinch |
Baking Soda | 1/4 tsp |
Butter | 3 tbsp |
Fresh or dried Blueberry | 1/2 cup |
Egg | 1/2 |
Half and Half Cream | 1/2 cup |
-
Step 1
Cut butter into small pieces. Keep them and blueberries in freezer for more than 30 min. In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients together. Stir the cream and egg together.
-
Step 2
Mix the dry ingredients and liquid together by adding them slowly and knead them into a soft dough. Add blueberries too while kneading. This would be little wet.
-
Step 3
Spread dry flour in the flat surface and knead the flour until they comes together.
-
Step 4
Separate the dough into halves and pat one portion into a square. Cut them into half by making a triangle using the pastry cutter.
-
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 375 and bake it for 20-25 until it becomes golden brown.
-
Step 6
Allow it to cool down for 20 min.
- Use cold butter to get fluffy texture.
- Freeze blueberries to avoid mashing it while mixing.
- Vennila essence can be added for extra flavor.
- To make it more soft, add some more baking salt and knead the dough little more sticky.
(*) Serve with hot coffee or tea.

I like this scone a lot. Before I bump into this recipe, I have never came across scone made from cream before( we don’t eat a lot of dairy in our household).The scone is indeed awesome.
It is not just delicious and all the ingredients are accessible locally. Usually I would bake a fairly large batch to share with my family. It is well kept in the freezer for one month.
Here is my favourite
Scone cutter. Next time I will try the scone with lemon curd ( from friend recommendation), hopefully the tangy lemon taste won’t be overwhelming.
