BLACKBERRY AND GINGER CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ginger together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender. Fold blackberries into the flour mixture gently. Add heavy cream and mix until batter just comes together, so berries don't get too mashed.
• Form dough into 6 large scones. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until scones are browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT SCONES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. See video above for a closer look at the texture. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together.
• Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the add-ins, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
• Pour onto the counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 more Tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges. For smaller scones, press dough into two 5-inch discs and cut each into 8 wedges. To make 10-12 drop scones: Keep mixing dough in the bowl until it comes together. Drop scones, about 1/4 cup of dough each, 3 inches apart on a lined baking sheet. To make mini (petite) scones, see recipe note.
• Brush scones with remaining heavy cream and for extra crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar. (You can do this before or after refrigerating in the next step.)
• Place scones on a plate or lined baking sheet (if your fridge has space!) and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat(s). If making mini or drop scones, use 2 baking sheets. After refrigerating, arrange scones 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
• Bake for 18-26 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Larger scones take closer to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Feel free to top with any of the toppings listed in the recipe Note below.
• Leftover scones keep well at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

BLACKBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 F.
• Ina medium bowl, measure out 2 cups of self-rising flour.
• If you don't have self-rising flour in your kitchen, use this: 2 cups flour + 1 tbsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
• Add the blackberries and sugar to this mixture and stir together.
• I kept the blackberries whole for this scone recipe because I love big juicy bites of cooked blackberries studded throughout the scone.
• Plus blackberries get crazy messy if you try to cut them in half, so there's that.
• Measure out 1 ½ cups whipping cream into a measuring cup, pour into the flour mixture, and stir.
• Use your hands to gather the dough together (use a bit of extra flour on your hands if it's too sticky), and put it onto a sprayed baking sheet.
• Pat the dough into a circle about ¾" thick.
• Slice into 8 wedges.
• Bake at 475F for 12-15 minutes until golden on top, and until the middle of the scones is cooked.
• Enjoy your scones!

• Add the cream and mix with your hands until a dough forms. Make an small circle with the dough and slice into 8 small wedges (each wedge should be only about two-three inches). Place wedges on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
• To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and cream. Scoop into a plastic bag, snip off the tip and drizzle over the cooled scones.
• Serve with tea and a good book!

BLACKBERRY SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°. Line baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
• Place flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into the food processor and pulse to mix.
• Remove the lid and sprinkle the butter over the flour mixture. Pulse about 10-15 times till the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
• Add the vanilla paste to heavy cream, then stir in the cream with a rubber spatula until the dough starts to come together.
• Pour out bowl contents onto a floured surface, and knead a few times, then carefully knead in the blackberries. I sprinkled a few on top, folded the dough over, and repeated. You don't want to overwork the dough.
• Form dough into an 8-inch round (alternatively, you can press it into an 8-inch cake pan lined with parchment, then carefully flip it out). Cut into 8 wedges
• Place wedges on a baking sheet and bake until tops are light brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
