Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • pastry cutter or hands
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • knife or bench scraper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cold and cubed
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Keep butter and cream cheese cold.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add cold butter and cream cheese, cutting into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just comes together.
  • Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  • Shape dough into a 7–8 inch round about 1 inch thick and cut into 8 wedges.
  • Place on baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth to make the glaze.
  • Drizzle glaze over slightly cooled scones, let set, and serve.

Notes

Keep butter and cream cheese cold for flaky layers. Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender texture. Frozen blueberries can be used straight from the freezer. Let scones cool slightly before glazing to prevent melting.
