Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the whole milk, vanilla extract, and beaten egg until combined.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead very gently, just enough to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough circle into 8 wedges.

Step 9

Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
