Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1.5 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp castor sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 60g cold butter, cut into cubes
- 1 cup buttermilk, plus extra to glaze
- 1 cup frozen bluberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220ºC (200ºC fan-forced). In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Add butter and use your fingers to rub it into the flour mixture until all of the lumps have disappeared.
- Make a well in the middle and add buttermilk and blueberries.
- Using a knife, 'slice' the wet ingredients in to the dry to combine. This method will prevent the blueberries from bleeding too much in to your dough and ensures you don't overmix.
- Once dough has just come together, turn out on to a floured surface. Gently squash the dough together.
- Roll out into a flat disk approximately three centimeters in height. Using a 6.5 centimetre cookie cutter, cut out scones. Place on a baking tray - scones do not need to touch. Brush tops with remaining buttermilk.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes until the tops begin to go golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve with butter or whipped cream and blueberry jam.
