Blueberryscones Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust rack to center of oven, and heat to 400 degrees.
• Place a Silpat baking mat on a baking sheet, and set aside. In a large bowl, sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, or two knives, cut in butter until the largest pieces are the size of small peas.
• Stir in blueberries and zest. Using a fork, whisk together cream and egg in a liquid measuring cup.
• Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in cream mixture. Stir lightly with fork just until dough comes together.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead a few times to mix well.
• Pat dough into a 6-inch square about 1 1/4 inches thick.
• Using a floured knife, cut into four 3-inch squares.
• Cut squares in half on the diagonal to form eight triangles.
• Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Transfer scones from baking sheet to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut butter into mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add blueberries and toss to mix.
• In separate bowl beat together cream and egg, and slowly pour into dry ingredients, stirring with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead just until it comes together, 3 or 4 times. Don't overhandle.
• Divide dough in half. On lightly floured board, shape each half into a 6-inch round. Cut into 6 wedges.
• Bake on ungreased sheet about 20 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Serve warm!!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
• Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches. Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares. Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
• You can make the lemon glaze in a double boiler, or for a simpler alternative, you can zap it in the microwave. Mix the lemon juice with the confectioners' until dissolved in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water for the double-boiler method, or in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the butter and lemon zest. Either nuke the glaze for 30 seconds or continue whisking in the double boiler. Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones. Let it set a minute before serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk eggs and 3/4 cup milk; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead in the blueberries., Divide the dough in half. Pat each portion into an 8-in. circle; cut each into 8 wedges. Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with remaining milk. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it's mostly pea-sized; a few larger chunks are okay. Dump the mixture into a large bowl and gently toss in the blueberries.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, mix until about 80 percent of the dry mixture is incorporated. Dollop teaspoon-sized plops of cream cheese all over the mixture, then gently fold the mixture just until the remaining dry ingredients are incorporated. (You want the cream cheese to generally stay intact but it will of course swirl a little.) Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the dough into 8 balls and place them on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). Bake until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt and salt in a bowl.
• Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 more minutes. While they're still a little warm, brush with the glaze, then sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using. These are best enjoyed the day of.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients.
• Starting at low speed, beat the butter and dry ingredients. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the butter breaks into small pieces. Then stir in the milk, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla until moistened.
• Place the dough on a floured surface and fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them. Form the dough into a long rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 2 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally, and then cut those pieces in half again. You should have 8 triangles total.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 17 to 21 minutes. Let cool. Serve with Honey Butter and Blackberry Jam.
• In a medium bowl, combine the butter and honey and blend thoroughly.
• To serve, transfer to a butter crock.
• You can also roll the butter into a log, chill it and then slice it into individual pieces. Place the blended butter on a piece of plastic wrap, shaping it into a rectangle. Wrap the butter tightly in the plastic wrap, folding the sides in first and then the top and bottom. Roll into a log and refrigerate until firm. To serve, cut 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices and arrange them in a butter dish.
• Place the berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing the berries with a potato masher as they cook. Add the lemon juice and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring and mashing constantly.
• Add the sugar and return the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to look syrupy and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and test for doneness: a candy thermometer should register 220 degrees F and the mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Run a finger--or a clean object about the width of a finger--through the coat of jam. If the jam does not run and fill the gap, it is done. Otherwise, return the pan to the heat for another 1 to 2 minutes and test again. Be careful not to let the mixture get too thick--it will thicken as it cools. (See Cook's Note)
• When the jam is done, transfer it to a heatproof jar and cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate. The jam will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
• Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough.
• Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches.
• Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares.
• Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape.
• Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
• Technically you should make this simple lemon glaze in a double boiler (i.e. over a pot of simmering water with a heatproof bowl set on top) but it's even simpler to zap it in the microwave.
• Mix the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar together in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the lemon zest and butter.
• Nuke it for 30 seconds on high.
• Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones.
• Let it set a minute before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in butter until largest pieces are the size of peas. Stir in blueberries and lemon zest.
• In a small bowl, whisk together cream and eggs. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add cream mixture; stir lightly with a fork just until dough comes together.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring together. Pat into a 6-inch square, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Using a sharp knife dipped in flour, cut dough into four squares. Cut each square in half diagonally to form eight triangles. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with more sugar.
• Bake until tops are golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer scones to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the baking mix and sugar in a large bowl.
• Mix in the butter with your hands or a pastry blender until the butter is the size of peas.
• Beat the eggs well with the 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine until just blended. Do not over mix.
• Gently fold in the blueberries.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 3/4-inch thick square.
• Cut into 4 squares, then cut each square into 2 triangles.
• Arrange the scones on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool a bit before glazing.
• For Glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
• Pour evenly over the warm scones. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in center. Place a baking mat on a baking sheet, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until the largest pieces are the size of peas. Stir in blueberries and zest.
• Using a fork, whisk together cream and egg in a liquid measuring cup. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients, and pour in cream mixture. Stir lightly with fork just until dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead a few times to mix well.
• Pat dough into a 6-inch square about 1 1/4 inches thick. Using a floured knife, cut into four 3-inch squares. Cut squares in half on the diagonal to form eight triangles. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
• Brush tops with cream, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer scones to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
• In a bowl, sift flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
• Add vanilla and butter, mix with 2 forks or a pastry cutter until it starts to look like breadcrumbs. My trick is to stab the flour and butter with my whisk, this works nicely too.
• Add the evaporated milk and fold gently. The dough will be very sticky, don't worry, that's how it should be.
• Coat blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, this will stop the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the scones. Add blueberries to dough and fold gently. Do not over mix.
• Sprinkle flour on the baking sheet then transfer the dough to it. Dust your hands with flour and shape the dough to 3/4 inch high disk.
• Flour a knife and cut the dough in 4 slices, brush with evaporated milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden. Leave to cool on cooling rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add frozen butter and process until a fine crumb results and no hunks of butter are left.
• Transfer into the bowl of an electric stand mixer or a bowl for hand mixing. Add sour cream and egg. Set mixer on medium speed and blend until crumbs clump up and start to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Add blueberries and mix to combine.
• Take 1/2 of the dough and place on a floured surface. Shape with your hands, pushing blueberries in if they fall out, into a 1/2-inch thick disc, about 8 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 triangles and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on each scone.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops start to turn golden, 17 to 22 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 and line a baking tray with parchment. To make the scones, put the flour, baking powder, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and mix together to combine. Add the butter and use your fingers to rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs (don't rub too thoroughly; some larger lumps are preferable). Add the blueberries and toss together.
• In a small jug, mix together the cream, vanilla and eggs, and pour into the mixture. Use a cutlery knife to stir together until the mixture starts to form a dough. Tip onto the work surface and use your hands to gently knead until the dough just comes together. Lightly flour your work surface and flatten the dough into a disc about 2.5cm thick. Use a sharp knife to cut it into eight triangles.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking tray. Beat the remaining egg, then lightly brush it over the top of each scone. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 mins or until deep golden brown. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 20 to 25 times. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Fold in blueberries, making sure they are well coated with the dry ingredients.
• Beat 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and lemon juice together using a fork in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture and mix just until slightly moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Gather dough in a circle using floured hands, kneading only slightly to incorporate any remaining dry ingredients. Flatten dough into a 9-inch round disc; cut disc into 8 triangles. Transfer scones using a bench scraper to the prepared baking sheets (4 scones per baking sheet). Brush scones with 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag; snip the corner off of the bag using scissors, and drizzle cooled scones with glaze.
