With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these delicious treats that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the dough; you still want small chunks of butter throughout.
Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the vanilla extract with the milk. Pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients.
Stir the mixture with a spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. The dough should be somewhat sticky. If it feels too dry, you can add an additional splash of milk.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together, being cautious not to squish the blueberries. Press the dough into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Slice the circle into 8 wedges, like a pizza.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading. Optionally, you can brush the tops with a little milk or egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold before adding it to the flour mixture. This helps create a flakier texture in the scones.
- If fresh blueberries are not available, you can use frozen ones. Do not thaw them before adding to the dough to prevent the scones from becoming too wet.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overworking it can result in tough scones. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For extra flavor, you could add a glaze made of powdered sugar and a little milk drizzled over the top once the scones have cooled.
- Try substituting some of the self-raising flour with whole wheat flour for a slightly healthier version without compromising much on taste.
Congratulations! You've successfully made your own batch of blueberry scones. Enjoy them warm right out of the oven or allow them to cool for a bit – either way, they make for a delectable treat. Don't forget to share with friends and family or enjoy with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Happy baking!
