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
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan, gas mark 6).
Step 2:
Sift the flour and baking powder together in a bowl and add the sugar.
Step 3:
Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips to make crumbs.
Step 4:
Add the blueberries and pour in the buttermilk. Use a flat knife to mix everything together.
Step 5:
Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface to make a smooth dough. Roll out to a thickness of 2.5cm (1")
Step 6:
Dip a 5cm plain cutter in some flour, then use it to stamp out 8 rounds of dough.
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.
Step 8:
For the filling, mix together the mascarpone cheese, greek yoghurt, sugar and vanilla extract.
Step 9:
To serve, split the sconed in half and serve with a dollop of mascarpone mixture and blueberry jam.
