We had nothing to snack on last night, so I decided to make scones.

I found some frozen blueberries in the freezer and so I decided to make blueberry scones.

But I had no idea how to do it well. So I asked the internet and it had the answers!

Here’s my new favourite scone recipe:

Dough

• 1¾ cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ cup white sugar
• pinch of salt
• 5-6 tablespoons butter FROZEN
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup sour cream

Filling

• ½ cup FROZEN blueberries

Egg wash

• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Here’s the instructions:

FYI: This works best if all the ingredients are COLD.

1. Preheat oven to 400° F (200° C).
2. Sift and mix the flour, baking power, sugar and salt into a bowl.
3. Shred FROZEN butter and then let freeze again for 5-10 min before quickly adding to the dry mixture, get it all the little butter shreds a good coating of flour.
4. Mix milk and sour cream together well, then add it to the dry mixture.
5. DO NOT OVER MIX. Get it all just incorporated, then STOP. You don’t want to damage or melt the shreds of flour coated butter.
6. Flour your work surface and your hands well, and empty the mixture onto your floured surface. It will be very sticky, so use more flour when needed.
7. Use a rolling pin to gently roll out the dough into a rough rectangle, around 1cm thick.
8. Cover the bottom 2/3 of the rectangle with blueberries, press them gently into the dough, and leave a 2cm boarder around the edge for sealing it up.
9. Fold the bottom 1/3 up over the blueberries, then fold the top 1/3 down to make a rough envelope.
10. Use your flowered hands to seal up this envelope and sort of shape it into a sort of oval log.
11. Cut the log with a sharp knife into 3-4 smaller rectangles, then cut them diagonaly into triangles
12. Place onto a greased cookie sheet or silpat.
13. Lightly beat the egg, add the tablespoon of milk and brush this egg-wash onto the scones. Then sprinkle sugar onto them (use white or rough sugar here)
14. Bake for 10-15min or until lightly golden.
15. Cool for about 10 min before enjoying!

The following Youtube video shows the some of the techniques I used, although the dough recipe is different and she did a few extra steps to layer the butter. I didn’t do this and they still came out spectacularly.
