About the bake

Could there be anything better than a fresh blueberry scone still warm from the oven? We think that this is up there with the great bakes. Why not give it a try and enjoy with your feet up and a nice warm cup of tea or coffee. Bliss!

Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan, gas mark 6).

  2. Step 2:

    Sift the flour and baking powder together in a bowl and add the sugar.

  3. Step 3:

    Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips to make crumbs.

  4. Step 4:

    Add the blueberries and pour in the buttermilk. Use a flat knife to mix everything together.

  5. Step 5:

    Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface to make a smooth dough. Roll out to a thickness of 2.5cm (1")

  6. Step 6:

    Dip a 5cm plain cutter in some flour, then use it to stamp out 8 rounds of dough.

  7. Step 7:

    Use a pallet knife to lift the scones onto a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the scones are risen and pale golden. Cool on a wire rack.

  8. Step 8:

    For the filling, mix together the mascarpone cheese, greek yoghurt, sugar and vanilla extract.

  9. Step 9:

    To serve, split the sconed in half and serve with a dollop of mascarpone mixture and blueberry jam.
