Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups of flour
- 6 Tbsp. brown sugar*
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ cup butter, cold
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp. Crosby’s Fancy Molasses
- 1 cup blueberries
*Can reduce the brown sugar by half if you prefer a less sweet scone.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F
- In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients. Cut in cold butter until it is pea-sized and evenly distributed.
- In another bowl whisk together the buttermilk, egg and molasses.
- Add wet to dry and stir gently until almost incorporated. Gently fold in blueberries, taking care not to over mix.
- Using a rubber spatula scrape dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dough will be very wet and shaggy.
- Flour your hands and sprinkle a little flour over the dough. Gently pat and spread the dough into an 8”-9” circle. Using a floured knife score the dough into 8-12 wedges.
- Bake about 20 minutes (up to 25) until scone springs back lightly when touched in the middle. (Cover with foil during the final few minutes of baking if the edges are getting too dark.)
- Let cool before slicing into wedges.
Notes
Tip: The dough is shaggy and wet so needs to be handled carefully. That’s the key to getting the luscious texture.
