Blueberry Scones.  Delicious doesn’t have to be complicated. These scones are the perfect breakfast or teatime snack.  The fact that blueberries are so juicy and plump right now, you shouldn’t need butter or jam as these are perfect as is.

2 cups flour (and more for kneading)

1 pint fresh blueberries

1 cup 18% cream

3 tsps baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp sea salt

2. In separate bowl, whisk egg, cream and vanilla. Pour this over flour mixture.

3. Add blueberries, mixing gently till everything is just combined into a batter.

4. Gradually add a tablespoon of flour in until your mixture reaches the consistency of a dough, careful not to add too much flour.

5. Once firm enough, transfer to a flat, clean and floured surface to knead gently into a dough. Add flour bit by bit if required. Do not over-knead.

6. Form dough into a disc and take a clean knife, cutting into 8 triangles. Clean knife if it gets too sticky for a clean cut.

7. Pre-heat oven at 400°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

8. Place scones on parchment paper-lined tray or dish and put into your freezer for about 15 minutes.
