Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour, plus 1 teaspoon divided use
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and dried
  • 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream plus additional to brush tops
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp turbinado sugar
  • Glaze: (optional)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet or two standard size, with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Scones: In a medium-size mixing bowl using a whisk sift together the 2 1/4 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. In a separate small bowl, toss blueberries with 1 teaspoon flour, set aside.
  • Using a pastry blender or 2 forks cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles cornmeal. Add blueberries, mixing until evenly distributed. Make a well in the center.
  • Whisk together sour cream, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla. Gradually mix into dry ingredients until fully moistened.
  • Turn the dough out onto a non stick lightly floured surface. Turn it a few times to coat with flour to help with the stickiness. Do not overwork the dough. Pat the dough into an 8 inch circle that is about 1 inch thick.
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in flour to cut dough into wedges. Transfer wedges to the sheet pan. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • Glaze: Mix together powdered sugar, cream and vanilla. Use additional heavy cream until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle glaze over warm scones just before serving, if desired.
  • Serve warm with fresh whipped cream and lemon curd or jam.
