Equipment

  • Pastry cutter (or 2 forks)
  • Pizza cutter, bench knife, or chef's knife
  • Pastry brush
  • Small strainer (optional)

Ingredients

Scone Dough

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cake flour
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup full-fat buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, divided

Streusel Topping

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Make the scone dough.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl with the flour mixture and cut in the butter using a pastry cutter (or two forks) until it is the texture of coarse meal.
  • Add the blueberries and stir.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and one egg.
  • Drizzle the buttermilk mixture over the flour mixture and gently toss/stir the mixtures together using a fork, just until a dough forms. Be careful not to over mix the dough.
  • Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough twice. Use your hands to gently form the dough into a circle that's 1 inch thick. Use a pizza cutter, bench knife, or chef's knife dipped in flour to slice the dough circle into 6 triangles.
  • Transfer the sliced dough to the prepared baking sheet, keeping the triangles arranged in a circular format but with about an inch of space between each.
  • In a small bowl, lightly whisk the remaining egg with one Tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top of each scone.

Make the streusel topping.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until a crumbly mixture forms. Sprinkle the streusel over the scones.

Bake the scones.

  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the edges of each scone are golden brown. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before dusting with confectioners' sugar and serving.

Notes

Scones are best when eaten fresh from the oven, when they're still lightly warm.
Storage: If you do wish to store leftover scones, allow them to cool completely, then wrap each scone individually with plastic wrap and store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
