Yummy Blueberry Scones

I made this delicious scones on Sunday morning. I found the recipe in the May 2011 edition of House & Home magazine featuring an article on Bobbette & Belle, a patisserie in Ontario.   These were super simple to make and turned out exactly like they looked in picture below. Happy Baking!

Ingredients

· 2 cups all-purpose flour

· ¼ cup sugar

· ½ tsp baking soda

· ¼ tsp salt

· ½ cup cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

· ¾ cup buttermilk

· 1 tsp pure vanilla extra

· Frozen blueberries to taste

· Icing sugar (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F and place rack in middle of oven. 

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add butter using a pastry blender to pressing with a fork until it forms a coarse, crumbly texture. Add buttermilk and vanilla; stir until dough forms. Do not overmix. 

3. Portion dough into 6 to 8 equal parts. Add blueberries while forming a thick disc with each portion. Do not overhandle once blueberries have been added.
4. Place on baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from sheet and transfer to wire rack to cool.
5. Dust with icing sugar once cooled.
