BLUEBERRY ALMOND DROP SCONES



Blueberry Almond Drop Scones image

Blueberry with almond is one of my favorite combos for breakfast bakes. Sneaking some toasted almond flour and citrus zest into these scones really makes their flavor shine. Sometimes I like to make these scones ahead of time, portioning the dough on sheet pans and popping them into the refrigerator until baking them the next morning.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (70 grams) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (30 grams) almond flour, toasted and cooled (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 lemon or 1/2 orange, zested
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen
1 heaping cup frozen blueberries
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted and cooled (see Cook's Note)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, cold
1 large egg, cold
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar or coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 half sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, almond flour, baking powder, salt and citrus zest until well combined.
  • Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the frozen butter into the flour. Use a rubber spatula to toss the butter evenly into the flour, breaking up any large bits. Add the berries and slivered almonds and toss into the flour.
  • Whisk together the cream, egg and vanilla in a small bowl, then pour into the flour-butter mixture. Stir and flatten the dough over itself until evenly moistened; some dry spots may remain -- that's OK. The dough will have the consistency of sticky cookie dough.
  • Use a scoop or measuring cup to portion out 6 mounded 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto each prepared sheet pan. Flatten the mounds ever so slightly.
  • For finishing: Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush onto the scones with a pastry brush. Sprinkle the scones with the finishing sugar.
  • Bake until deep golden and slightly springy when touched, 28 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway during baking. Let cool on the sheet pans until warm then transfer to a serving tray. The scones are best served warm or the day they are baked.

EASY BLUEBERRY ALMOND SCONES



Easy Blueberry Almond Scones image

Inspired by Lalalous's recipe #371363, this simple scone recipe is so easy, you can make it in the morning before work! Raspberries work well, too - use almond extract if you're using rapberries! I use frozen berries (the individually frozen kind, not the kind in syrup) for these, and I like my berries, so my scoop of berries is more like a heaping 1/2 cup!

Time 20m

Yield 4 Scones, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup flour
1/4 cup oats
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon oil
1/3 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons sugar (use more if you like your scones sweet)
1 teaspoon vanilla powder or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/3-1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F.
  • In a bowl mix together flour, oats, baking powder, sugar and vanilla powder (if using vanilla extract, add with milk). Add oil and stir to combine.

  • Add milk (and vanilla extract) and stir to combine. If it is too sticky add more flour, if it is too dry add some more milk.
  • Pat out dough on a floured surface and cut or shape scones of desired size. I often shape dough into a large circle, and cut into triangles for a traditional shape.
  • Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes until baked through and golden brown.
