Ingredients
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

6. Pour the wet mixture slowly into the prepared flour mixture carefully.

9. Use a knife to carefully cut the dough into eight wedges.
10. Place scones onto the tray with small spaces between each piece.
11. Brush tops lightly using milk for a beautiful golden baked color.
12. Bake the scones until golden tops and lightly crisp edges appear.
13. Cool slightly before serving warm with butter or a sweet glaze.
Notes
- Always use cold butter for flaky and tender homemade scones.
- Do not overmix, or the scones may turn heavy and dense.
- Chill the dough before baking for a flaky, tender scone texture.
- Fresh blueberries give a cleaner texture and brighter flavor during baking.
- Measure flour carefully to prevent dry, crumbly baked scones later.
- Airtight containers help leftover scones stay fresh for several days.
