1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's gather all the ingredients needed for our fluffy blueberry scones. You'll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes), 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 2/3 cup of heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

2

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). It's important to have a hot oven for perfectly fluffy scones!

3

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined.

4

Cut in the Butter

Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will give your scones that irresistibly flaky texture.

5

Add the Blueberries

Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the dough. Take care not to crush them! You want those juicy bursts in every bite.

6

Mix in the Wet Ingredients

Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract into the bowl. Mix everything together until a sticky dough forms. Don't overmix, as this can make the scones tough.

7

Shape the Scones

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Then, use a floured round cutter or simply cut the dough into triangles.

8

Bake and Enjoy

Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Once they're done, let them cool slightly before diving in. Enjoy your fluffy blueberry scones!
