Equipment

  • oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

FOR THE SCONES

  • 2 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold, cut into ¼" cubes
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

FOR THE GLAZE

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon buttermilk

Instructions
 

TO MAKE THE SCONES

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients until well blended.
  • Add cold butter cubes to your dry blend and toss to fully coat them in flour. Work the butter into the flour until no chunks remain.
  • Add blueberries and toss with the crumb mixture until fairly well distributed.
  • Stir together buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla until well blended. Add wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
  • Scoop dough into rounds using ⅓ cup of dough per scone and place on baking sheet at least 3” apart.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and the center feels set.

TO MAKE THE GLAZE

  • Mix together all the glaze ingredients until smooth and well blended.
  • When scones are just a little warm, drizzle glaze over the tops and allow the excess to drip off.
  • Allow glaze to set for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Frozen blueberries can cause the batter to turn bright blue-purple. For lemon lovers, variations can be made for a lemon blueberry scone flavor.
