Description
Delicious mixed berry scones made with fresh raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (270g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (99g) granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (113g) cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- ½ cup (118ml) buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
- 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries (broken into pieces and frozen)
- 1 cup (150g) blueberries
- 1 cup (167g) strawberries (chopped)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add in the cold, cubed butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut in the butter until pea sized amounts of butter remain.
- Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg.
- Use a spatula to gently combine until the dough is thick and sticky.
- Gently stir in your mix-ins.
- On a silicone mat or kitchen counter, gently knead the dough until all the flour is incorporated. Add 1-2 additional tablespoons of flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Lamination: Fold the dough in half, press it down slightly, turn the dough 90 degrees and fold in half again. Repeat this folding and turning process 4-5 times.
- Shape the dough into a 8-10 inch disc that is about 1 to 2 inches tall. Refrigerate the scone in a disc for 5-10 minutes.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the scones into 8 equal wedges.
- Place the scones 2-3 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Freeze the scones for 30 minutes. The last 5 minutes, preheat the oven to 400º F.
- Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash (1 large egg + 1 Tbsp water), buttermilk or heavy cream. Add coarse sanding sugar if desired.
- Bake for 20-26 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden. Allow the scones to cool.
