Blackberry Scones

These Blackberry Scones are so easy and taste amazing! This is a favorite when we have an over abundance of blackberries.
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 3 cup Flour
  • 1 tbls Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 stick Butter Cold, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1 Cup Blackberries
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk
  • 1 Egg Beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  • Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until it is evenly dispersed and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gently fold in the berries, then add the buttermilk and stir just until the dough is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead just until it comes together into a soft dough.
  • Divide the dough in half and gently pat each portion into a disk. Lightly roll each disk into a 6-inch circle. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with beaten egg. Score each circle into 6 wedges, cutting partway through the dough.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

We got this recipe from the Totally Teatime Cookbook. We made a few modifications.
