Blueberry Scones Ingredients

These homemade scones are easy to make and uses few ingredients that might be in your pantry already.

Flour: use all-purpose flour for this recipe. All-purpose flour is the most common flour found in most homes. When you measure the required amount make sure to set extra aside. Use the extra flour for the work surfaces and your hands.

Sugar: this recipe used granulated white sugar in the dough. Feel free to use brown sugar, but keep in mind that there will be a slight difference in the flavor and texture.

Baking powder: this acts as the leavening agent, which adds a lift to the scones.

Salt, Nutmeg, and Vanilla extract: these are the flavor booster in the dough. Cinnamon will also work in the dough.

Butter: cold butter is the secret ingredient for making the scones flaky and crispy. The butter adds flavor to the scones.

Buttermilk: this produces a soft and tender texture for the scones. heavy cream or heavy whipping cream works too as well as canned coconut milk. For this recipe avoid using thinner liquids such as milk or almond milk.

Eggs: they add structure, lift, flavor, and richness to the texture of the scones. The egg used is large.

Blueberries: use fresh or frozen blueberries. When using frozen blueberries, you should not thaw them before use.

Garnish: this is an important step in making scones that has golden brown shine and crunch to it. Brush the top of the scones with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse or sugar crystals before baking.

The Secret to Make Flaky Scones.

If you want the flakiest scones, then the fat used should be at the right temperature. The fat in the recipe needs to be very cold or frozen so that it does not melt into the flour before baking. To achieve this, grate frozen butter and mix it into the flour quickly. When pieces of the butter in the scones bake, they release steam and a pocket of air. This pocket of air makes the scones flaky in the center and crumbly and crisp at the edges. Do not overwork the dough since it will produce dense scones.

Box grater was used to grate the butter, but the pastry cutter works too. A knife can be used to cubed butter into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients as well.

How to Make a Gluten-Free Version

Use gluten-free flour from King Arthur Flour blend, this seems to work well. Use this as a straight replacement for regular flour. Feel free to use any type you like. One secret is to add xanthan gum to gluten-free flour (1/4 teaspoon gum to 200g/7oz/1 ½ cups flour). This helps improve the crumb structure of scones and baked goods in general.
