Afternoon Tea Blueberry Scones
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons butter cold, small dice
- 2 handfuls blueberries
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- powdered sugar
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- In a bowl, using a hand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add in the cold butter and continue to mix until the butter becomes incorporated and the pieces are about the size of peas.
- Stir in the blueberries just to coat with the dry mixture.
- In a measuring cup mix together the buttermilk and egg. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until the dry ingredients are mostly incorporated.
- Pour the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface {too much flour will leave you with a heavy dense scone}. Gently press together to form into a round about 1 1/2 inches high.
- Cut into 6 even triangles. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with some of the melted butter.
- Bake for approx 22-24 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and brush again with melted butter.
- Allow to cool then dust with powdered sugar.
