White Chocolate Blueberry Scones
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine.
Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or fork until it resembles fine crumbles.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 cup of the buttermilk.
Mix the egg and buttermilk into the flour, adding extra buttermilk, as needed, to get the dough to just stick together.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and blueberries.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
Shape the dough into 2 round circles, about 1/2 to 3/4-inch high on the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to get it very cold before baking.
Cut the dough into 6 triangles (or 4 for larger scones) and separate them an inch or two.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Tips and Techniques
- Ensure that your butter is very cold when you are making scones.
- Place the shaped scones dough in the refrigerator until it's very cold before cutting and baking. Then, cut the scones and bake as instructed. This will help the scones rise better.
- Store leftover scones in an air-tight container. Use within 1-2 days for best results.
