Description
Flaky, buttery scones filled with tart blackberries for a sweet-savory twist. Perfect for breakfast or tea time, these easy scones highlight bold fruit flavor while maintaining a light, crumbly texture.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp sea salt
½ cup frozen unsalted butter
1 cup blackberries (quartered)
⅔ cup buttermilk
2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt in a large bowl until combined.
Grate frozen butter into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend into the dry mix until shaggy and pea-sized.
Stir in blackberries, vanilla, and buttermilk until just combined.
Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 wedges.
Place scones on the baking sheet and brush with buttermilk. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden.
Notes
For flakiest texture, ensure butter remains frozen during incorporation.
Use blueberries or strawberries as blackberry substitutions.
To make buttermilk: mix ⅔ cup milk with ½ tsp baking soda.
Freeze leftover scones for up to 3 months.
