Yield:6 large scones 1x
Ingredients
Scale
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, frozen
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 – 2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup blueberries
Vanilla Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture. Gently combine with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
In a small bowl whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla. Pour into flour mixture and stir until dough forms. Gently fold in blueberries. Without over working the dough, mold into a ball and transfer to baking sheet.
Press dough down to about 8-inches. Cut 6 large wedges, or 10 – 12 smaller ones. Separate scones about 1″ apart.
Bake 15 – 20 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Remove from oven and drizzle with vanilla glaze. To make the glaze, simply whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together.
