Blueberry Scones

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 425*. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar.
  2. 2. Add the flour, salt, and skim milk. Mix until a dryer, crumbly dough forms. Do not over mix. The texture will be much lighter with the least amount of mixing possible.
  3. 3. Turn out the dough onto a floured countertop. Gently, using your hands, work the blueberries into the dough.
  4. 4. Form a round about 1/2 inch thick and either cut into 6 wedges using a sharp knife, or use a biscuit cutter to cut out round scones. If using the biscuit cutter, reform the dough as needed until all dough has been used up.
  5. 5. Place scones at least 1 inch apart on an un-greased baking sheet. Bake at 425* on the middle rack for 15-17 minutes.
  6. 6. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool completely before storing. These will store well in an airtight container for about a week.
