Blackberry Scones

Catherine
These blackberry scones are tender, buttery and packed with juicy blackberries! They are an easy to make, lightly sweetened treat that goes perfect with tea and coffee!

Ingredients
  

Scones

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter cold, cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt vanilla flavoured
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar (icing sugar or powdered sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pulse a few time to mix it thoroughly. Add the butter and pulse until it forms a coarse meal. (If you do not have a food processor, simply stir the dry ingredients in a large bowl and use a pastry cutter or two butter knives to work the butter in until it forms a coarse meal.)
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg, milk and yogurt together. Add it to the flour mixture and pulse until it combines into a wet but crumbly dough.
  • Transfer everything onto a clean, floured surface. It will be clumpy at this point. Sprinkle the blackberries over the crumbled dough. Using your hands, work the dough to help bring it together and shape it into a 8 inch disc,working gently and being careful not to overwork and mash up the blackberries too much (a little mashed up is good).
  • Cut the dough into 8 scones using a biscuit cutter and transfer onto the baking sheet, leaving at least an inch between wedges. Brush each scone with milk and sprinkle with some sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or until the scones begin to turn a nice golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a bowl, add the confectioners sugar and milk. Stir to form the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the scones.
