Makes nine scones.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup butter (cold)
- 3/4 cup blueberries (frozen)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
- Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients, keeping mixture loose and sandy.
- Add milk and cream and lightly mix until the wet ingredients are just barely incorporated.
- Lightly dust the frozen blueberries with flour, then add to bowl. Mix gently.
- Press dough into a parchment-lined, 8” x 8” glass baking dish and place in freezer for 20-30 minutes — until the dough is cold enough to portion cleanly.
- Turn the dough out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and cut into nine squares.
- Brush each square with cream and top with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes.
