Blueberry Cream Scones Recipe

Ingredients:

• 5 cups Cairnspring Pastry Flour
• 2 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 8 Tbsp (1 stick) cold butter
• 6 oz fresh blueberries
• 1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tbsp whipping cream, divided
• 2 eggs
• Coarse sugar to sprinkle over top

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F
2. Mix pastry flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together in medium bowl.
3. Cut butter into 1/2-inch cubes, then cut into flour until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add blueberries and blend lightly.
4. Mix 1-1/2 cups of the whipping cream and eggs until well blended. Pour mixture into flour/butter/berry mixture, mixing with fork until dough begins to form, about 30 seconds.
5. Transfer to counter top. Knead lightly until dough comes together into a slightly sticky ball, 20 to 30 seconds.
6. Divide dough into two balls. Flatten slightly and cut each ball into 8 wedges. Place scones on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining 2 Tbsp cream and sprinkle with sugar.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes.
8. Note:
9. Scones may be mixed and shaped, placed on parchment lined sheet, then wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight. Move directly from refrigerator into preheated oven.
