Blueberry Scone

Sorry for the late posting of photos. Actually made it last sat for a picnic cum kite flying at ECP. But then I forgot to take pictures...Sighzzz...so blur lor.

So this Friday, I die die must bake again so that you all will be convince that this recipe is worth trying. All scones are gone, my SF love it so much some even "ta-bao". Hee...

If like your scones a bit moist, try this blueberry scones recipe. If you like it a bit dry can try the scottish scones with raisins.

Btw, the recipe instruction says cut dough into triangles, which I did last sat. I think its a bit too big piece to digest alone, this batch I make in squares sizes.

Enjoy:)))

Ingredient

2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
2 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of grated lemon zest
1/2 cup of whole milk
1/2 cup of sour cream
8 tbsp of butter, cut into thick dice, refreeze ( 113 gram )
1 1/2 cups of frozen fresh blue berries


Method

• Whisk dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl



• In another bowl, whisk whole milk & sour cream together



• Add frozen butter into dry ingredients, mix quickly into the flour with hands, or cut with a pastry cutter, add liquid mixture into the bowl, fold into just combine dough.



• Heavily flour the table or working board ( for me, i use my silicone baking mat ), pour the dough onto the floured surface, gently & quickly knead the dough for 6-7 turns until it is just combine.



• Flour the table again, roll dough into a 12 inch square



• Fold the dough using triple ply technic, do the same triple ply fold on the sides too ( just like fold a letter ), this will form a small square dough.



• Put the dough on a floured plate, put into the freezer for 5 mins



• Roll the cold dough into a 12 inch square



• Add & press the frozen blue berry on the flatten dough



• Roll into a nice & tight log, if dough sticks, just add more flour



• Flatten the log slightly to about 4 inches wide



• Use a sharp knife, cut into 4 equal parts ( remember DON't cut directly on your silicon baking mat, do it on table or chopboard, anything flat surface but the S-mat... I will go mad...that is my favourite helper, actually i heartpain the $$ if my mat gets hurt:)



• Cut each dough parts into a triangle.



• Coat the top of the triangle dough with melted butter, sprinkle some sugar on the top of the dough



• Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degree celsius for about 18 to 20 mins ( make sure the scone is golden brown on the top & bottom )



• Cool the hot scones for about 10 mins before serving.
