Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup fresh huckleberries (or blueberries if you can’t find ’em)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You want those scones to slide right off!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix it well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Don’t be shy with it!
- Gently fold in the huckleberries and lemon zest, making sure not to mash those berries.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful, overmixing ain’t the move.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut it into wedges or use a biscuit cutter for round scones.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, allowing a bit of space between them. Brush the tops with a little extra cream if you wanna get that nice golden color.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Your kitchen will smell heavenly, trust me!
- Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy those delightful scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
And there you have it! These Huckleberry-Lemon Scones are gonna be a hit. Grab your folks and enjoy this treat together!
