Directions: |
Directions:1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Grate your butter using a cheese grater and stir into the flour mixture OR cut butter into small pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the fat into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal or sand.
3. Add in egg (if using), 1 cup cream, blueberries, and vanilla extract (or other flavorings) stirring until the dough just comes together.
4. Turn the dough out onto a clean countertop and form it into a ball
Press the dough flat until it is 2-inch thick circle. Use a butter knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
5. Place cut scones on an un-greased baking sheet and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
6. Bake at 425 degrees for about 12-15 minutes, until the tops are nicely browned. |

Notes
I love to make this recipe. It is not difficult to do and they taste absolutely delicious!
Note: Adding an egg to your scone batter will change the texture of your scone, creating a richer, more dense result. This recipe will work either way and the egg is completely optional and does not need to be replaced.
MIX INS:
Blueberry Scones (1 cup blueberries + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Chocolate Chip Scones (1 cup mini chocolate chips)
Cranberry Orange Scones (3/4 cup dried cranberries + 2 tablespoons orange zest)
Pumpkin Scones (replace half of the heavy cream with 1/2 cup pumpkin puree + 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice)
Cranberry Scones (1 cup dried cranberries + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Lemon Scones (replace 1/4 cup of the heavy cream with 1/4 cup lemon juice + 2 tablespoons lemon zest)
Cinnamon Scones (replace white sugar with brown sugar + 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon)
