The Best Blackberry Scones Recipes

BLACKBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 F.
• Ina medium bowl, measure out 2 cups of self-rising flour.
• If you don't have self-rising flour in your kitchen, use this: 2 cups flour + 1 tbsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
• Add the blackberries and sugar to this mixture and stir together.
• I kept the blackberries whole for this scone recipe because I love big juicy bites of cooked blackberries studded throughout the scone.
• Plus blackberries get crazy messy if you try to cut them in half, so there's that.
• Measure out 1 ½ cups whipping cream into a measuring cup, pour into the flour mixture, and stir.
• Use your hands to gather the dough together (use a bit of extra flour on your hands if it's too sticky), and put it onto a sprayed baking sheet.
• Pat the dough into a circle about ¾" thick.
• Slice into 8 wedges.
• Bake at 475F for 12-15 minutes until golden on top, and until the middle of the scones is cooked.
• Enjoy your scones!

BLACKBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk the milk and the egg together until frothy and then set aside. In a large bowl, blend the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and blend the mixture with your hands until you have no lumps larger than a pea. Add the sugar and the blackberries and toss about until the blackberries are coated with the flour mixture. Add the egg mixture slowly until the dough comes together. Leave any remaining egg mixture to brush on as glaze.
• Turn dough out onto a clean counter and knead it no more than 12 times. Pat dough into a round approximately 1/2 an inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges. Place on an ungreased baking sheet or a Silpat. Using a pastry brush, glaze wedges with remaining egg mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the cream, egg and milk powder in a liquid measuring cup. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse only until pea-size pieces remain. Transfer to a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and mix with a fork, incorporating the dry ingredients a little at a time until a shaggy dough forms (it's okay if the dough looks a little dry, just don't overwork it). Lightly knead the dough in the bowl until it just comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle (about 9 by 7 inches). Cut in half lengthwise, then cut in half again crosswise; you should have 4 equal rectangles. Cut each piece in half from corner to corner making 8 triangular wedges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.
• Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Bake the scones until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 more minutes. Serve warm with softened butter and jam.
