Method
Preparation
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, granulated sugar, kosher salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
- Toss in the cold, cubed butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles large pea-sized crumbs.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- In a separate measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully mixed.
- Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the wet mixture, reserving about 2 tablespoons for egg wash. Fold gently until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently fold it over itself 2-3 times and shape into a circle about 1 ½ inches thick.
- Cut the dough into 8 equal scones and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate or freeze the scones while preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush the tops and sides with the reserved egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 23-24 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
Work quickly to keep the butter cold for a tender crumb. Avoid overmixing to keep scones fluffy. Use seasonal blueberries for the best flavor.
