Blueberry Scones with Vanilla Glaze are perfect for a quick grab and go breakfast. They’re crunchy around the edges but moist in the center. Topped with a vanilla glaze to give them a bit of sweetness.
Blueberries are a great fruit, don’t you think? They’re one of my many favorite fruits, besides clementines, bananas and watermelon. I love how sweet and tarty they are. They aren’t overly mushy either. I really hate mushy fruit. And blueberries stay fresh forever.
For some reason we either go through fruit quickly or never touch it. Some days all we do is snack on fruit and some days we won’t look at it. Hence the reason I love that blueberries stay fresh for a while.
These scones are easy to whip together and are really really yummy! This recipe makes 8 scones and they’re always gone within 2 days at my house. We devoured them to say the least. So if you’re looking for a sweet breakfast but gotta go, make these Blueberry Scones with Vanilla Glaze!
Ingredients:
Scones:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- coarse sugar (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Whisk together to combine.
- Add cubes of cold butter to flour mixture. Using a pastry blender, fork or your hands break down butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold the blueberries into the flour mixture. Make sure to be gentle and not break the blueberries.
- Fold in the 1 cup of heavy cream, until just incorporated. Do not over work the dough.
- Press the dough into a 12 by 3 rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Cut the rectangle in half, then cut the pieces in 1/2 again. This should give you 4 squares. Cut the squares in 1/2 diagonal. This will give you the classic scone shape.
- Place scones on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with the tablespoon of heavy cream. You can also sprinkle some coarse sugar if you have it.
- Bake 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Remove scones to a wire rack and let cool completely before glazing.
- In a large glass measuring bowl or small bowl, mix all glaze ingredients until smooth. Using a spoon drizzle over cooled scones. Let sit for 30 minutes, so the glaze can harden.
- Serve & Enjoy!
