Serves: 10
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 Tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
Instructions
  1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 400 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix first 6 ingredients. Cut in butter with fork or pastry cutter. The mixture should resemble coarse meal.
  3. Stir in blueberries.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
  5. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands (or a wooden spoon) to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.
  6. Place on a lightly floured surface rolling dough into a log about 20” long. Flatten to make a thick rectangle approximately 1” thick, 4” wide, and 20” long. Use a sharp knife to cut five 4” squares of dough. Cut each square in half along the angle line making 10 triangle shaped scones.
  7. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Place on pan about 1” apart.
  8. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and glaze.
  9. Glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar – 2 Tablespoons milk Mix. Drizzle over cooled scones.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
