Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (10 oz/284 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) butter, cold and diced
  • 1 cup (5oz/142g) fresh blackberries, cut into halves
  • ⅔ cup (5 fl oz/150 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • egg wash
  • 1 cup (4oz/115g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tablespoons (1 ½ oz/45 g) butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 12 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Toss in the blackberries.
  4. Combine buttermilk and vanilla extract in a small jug, then pour into the flour mixture. Stir gently until the dough comes together.
  5. Turn the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and press into a circle 1-inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.
  6. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and space them apart.
  7. Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown and firm when pressed. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter to achieve a flaky texture.
Feel free to substitute blackberries with raspberries or blueberries if desired.
Store leftover scones in an airtight container for up to two days.
