Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup fresh or frozen berries
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Turbinado or coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cubed butter and cut into dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Keep your lined baking sheet ready for transferring scone wedges.
- Assemble the Dish: Fold in berries gently. Mix cream and vanilla separately, then stir into the dry mix just until a shaggy dough forms.

- Finishing Touches: Cool slightly on a wire rack to firm up.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or preserves.
Notes
- Use frozen berries to reduce moisture in the dough.
- Chill dough before baking to prevent spreading.
- Add lemon zest or a pinch of spice for flavor twists.
