Ingredients
Butter | 115 | g |
All-purpose flour | 250 | g |
Sugar, granulated | 100 | g |
Baking powder | 2 1/2 | tsp. |
Cinnamon, grounded | 1 | tsp. |
Salt | 1/2 | tsp. |
Heavy cream | 120 | ml |
Heavy cream, brushing | 2 | tbsp. |

Blueberries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw) | 180 | g |
Coarse sugar | toppings | |

Directions
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter into the mix.
- Combine with two forks or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. Set aside in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Whisk 120ml of heavy cream, the egg and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the blueberries, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
- Spread some flour on the counter and work the dough into a ball on it. Add more flour if the dough gets too sticky. If it seems a little too dry, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.
- Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges.
- Brush scones with remaining heavy cream and for extra crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Place the scone on a place and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 204°C.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. After refrigerating, arrange scones 2 to 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before topping with vanilla icing.
