Berry Scones
Treat yourself to this Berry Scones recipe. Soft, buttery, and bursting with mixed berries, they're drizzled with a sweet lemon glaze for coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter very cold (frozen preferred)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups mixed berries such as raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, fresh or frozen
- poppy seeds optional, for sprinkling
For The Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 1½ teaspoons water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the heavy cream into a measuring cup, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix 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, then cut each disc into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared cookie sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and baked through.
- To make the glaze, in a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, water, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined. If the glaze is too thick, you can add a little more water, a few drops at a time.
- Once the scones have cooled after baking, drizzle the glaze over the top of each scone. If desired, sprinkle poppy seeds over the glazed scones for added texture and flavor.
