2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
1 cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, unthawed)
½ cup mascarpone cheese or clotted cream (optional)
2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Coarse sugar for sprinkling
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In another bowl, whisk cream, egg, and vanilla.
Pour into dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined.
Fold in blueberries carefully to avoid crushing.
Transfer dough to a floured surface and gently knead 2–3 times.
Pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or into wedges.
Place on prepared sheet, brush tops with cream, and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and set.
Let cool slightly.
Mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until smooth (optional).
Split scones and spread with cream filling (optional).
Serve warm with butter, clotted cream, or extra mascarpone filling. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter and heavy cream.
Be gentle when folding in blueberries to prevent them from breaking.
These scones are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
