Berry Scones
Tender cakes naturally sweetened with mixed berries then glazed with icing sugar, these Berry Scones pair perfectly with your midday coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter very cold (frozen preferred)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups mixed berries such as raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tsp water
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- poppy seeds (optional for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and lining a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour heavy cream into a measuring cup, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and stir. Gradually mix this into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Scatter the berries on top and gently fold them into the dough.
- Divide the dough in half, shape each half into an 8-inch round disc, and cut each disc into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and baked through.
