These Berry Bliss Scones are a delightful twist on the classic scone recipe, featuring a mix of fresh berries and a hint of vanilla for a burst of flavor in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Whisking the dry ingredients ensures they are evenly distributed.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter helps create a flaky texture in the scones.
Gently stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the dough just comes together.
Avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
Fold in the fresh mixed berries carefully to avoid crushing them.
If using frozen berries, do not thaw them to prevent excess moisture.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch-thick round.
Handle the dough as little as possible to maintain its light texture.
Cut the round into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spacing the scones apart allows for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Check the scones a minute or two early to avoid overbaking.
Let the scones cool slightly before serving warm.
Serve with butter, jam, or clotted cream for an extra treat.
