Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
• 2/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400F 200C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients

Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and chopped sage leaves

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined

Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together

Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick

Cut it into 8 wedges

Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the outside and cooked through

Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving
