Blueberry And Nectarine Scones
A deliciously crumbly scone that tastes like summer. Featuring juicy blueberries and nectarines, this easy scone recipe creates a heavenly treat perfect for brunch!
Servings: 6 scones
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 1/2 tablespoons cold butter (cubed)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup milk plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 nectarines (thinly sliced)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 420°F. While the oven is warming up, grab a large bowl and add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sift it together until mixed.
- Using your fingertips, massage the butter into the flour mixture until it has a breadcrumb consistency.
- Add the sugar and blueberries and stir gently until they're evenly distributed, careful not to overmix.
- Add the milk and use your hands to mix the dough together, again careful not to overwork the dough. Once everything is blended, place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll until it's 1/4 inch thick.
- Lay most of the sliced nectarine slices over half the rectangle, then fold the other half of the dough to cover the nectarines.
- Using a knife, cut out three triangles, then cut each unit in half to create six scones.
- Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each top with a little milk, sprinkle castor sugar on top, then garnish with remaining sliced nectarines.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are just golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool fully on a cooling rack before enjoying.
