Dannon's Summer Berry Scones

Bursting with the vibrant flavors of summer, Dannon’s Summer Berry Scones are a delightful treat perfect for brunches, tea time, or an indulgent snack. These golden-baked scones combine a medley of fresh berries—like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries—folded into a tender dough made with tangy Dannon plain yogurt for a rich, moist texture. The buttery crumb, enhanced by a light brushing of heavy cream and a sprinkle of coarse sugar, offers the perfect balance of crisp and soft. Ready in just 35 minutes, this easy-to-make recipe uses simple techniques like cutting butter into flour for that classic scone flakiness. Serve them warm or at room temperature for a taste of summer in every bite, and pair them with your favorite jam or a dollop of clotted cream for a truly decadent experience.

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries diced)
• 0.5 cup Dannon plain yogurt
• 1 Large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for brushing)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it forms pea-sized crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the mixed summer berries, being careful not to crush them.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until the dough just starts to come together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a round disk about 1-inch thick. Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the scones with the heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a crunchy, golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm or at room temperature.
