Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Ensure the butter remains cold for best results. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. (1 minute)

05

Step

Add the chilled buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for about 2 minutes to bring it together. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Roll the dough out to a 3/4-inch thickness and cut into 3-inch triangles using a sharp knife or scone cutter. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Arrange the scones evenly on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with lightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. (3 minutes)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. (18 minutes)

10

Step

Remove from the oven and transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm. (5 minutes)

For best results, ensure all ingredients are cold, especially the butter and buttermilk. This helps create a flakier scone.
Do not overmix the dough; overmixing will result in tough scones.
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the buttermilk.
Serve warm with clotted cream and your favorite jam for a truly indulgent treat.
