Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
3 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 pinch salt
-
3 tablespoons sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
-
5 tablespoons butter, softened
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1/2 cup fresh blueberries (you can use the frozen kind of you need to, but fresh are preferred)
-
heavy cream (for brushing over top)
-
sugar, for top
Instructions
- First preheat oven to 425°F.
- Then take out a large baking sheet and grease it; set it aside.
- In a large bowl, you will need to combine your flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and allspice.
- Cut your butter into flour mixture with pastry knife (or a fork if you don't have one - you can even use your hands) making sure to cut it through until it looks crumbly.
- Now you will need to make a well in the center of this mixture and add the milk.
- Beginning stirring mixture, then add your blueberries, and finish stirring until dough forms.
- If you feel that it is not forming well, you can always add a tiny bit of milk to make it all come together, but be careful not to add much more milk, and do NOT overwork the dough.
- Now you must form the dough into one large round (like a ball), and flatten it out into a 10 inch disk.
- With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 10 wedges; you can do so by cutting it exactly as you would cut a pie!
- Slide disk of scone wedges on to baking sheet sheet (not necessary to separate at this time). Brush tops with cream, and sprinkle sugar over the cream.
- Bake scones for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from baking sheet when done, and cut the wedges where you made your cuts earlier.
- Serve warm with my blueberry sauce or with butter and honey!
- You can even eat them plain!
