1

Gather the Ingredients

Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients for your jazzed-up blueberry scones. You'll need: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed), 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup fresh blueberries, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for garnish.

2

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure your scones bake evenly and develop a golden crust.

3

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good mix to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

4

Cut in the Butter

Add the cold and cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to gently work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will create a flaky texture in your scones.

5

Add the Flavor

Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture gently until it starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix at this stage.

6

Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the dough. Try not to crush them too much, as we want those juicy blueberry bursts in every bite!

7

Shape and Bake

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it down into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.

8

Serve and Enjoy

Once the scones are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Dust them with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy your jazzed-up blueberry scones!
