Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces blueberries - fresh or frozen (113 g)
  • 4 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120ml)
  • 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (113 g)
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour (240 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C). In a large bowl add the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Use a whisk or large spoon to mix the ingredient together.
  • In another small bowl, add the egg, honey, vanilla and heavy cream. Use a whisk or fork to blend them together well.
  • Add the cold butter (cubed) to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to incorporate the butter into the dough.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Add the blueberries too. Using a light touch, gently mix the ingredients together until all of the dry flour is incorporated.
  • Use a large spoon to scoop dough onto a greased baking sheet (or one lined with parchment paper). Gently push the dough down until it is about 1 inch thick.
  • Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top of each scone with a bit of heavy cream. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until lightly brown on the outside and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
    Add a light honey drizzle when they come out of the oven if you plant to eat them right away.

Notes

*I used frozen blueberries that I had put away from here on the farm. I did thaw them before using in the recipe.
*do not over work your dough as the scones will be more dense if you do
*you don't have to brush butter on the top if you don't want too - they will still be good.
