Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest
  • 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter VERY cold butter = flaky scones!
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup blackberries fresh or frozen (do not thaw before adding)

Egg Wash and Sugar Topping

  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon milk or water
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar to sprinkle over before baking

Icing Glaze

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3/4 - 1 cup powdered confectioners sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and lime zest). Whisk to combine.
  • Remove butter from refrigerator. Quickly cut the butter into small slices and cubes, then cut the butter into the dry ingredients (a pastry cutter works best, but you can use a fork or your fingers) until it forms a course meal. Set aside.
    cutting butter into the scone dough
  • In a small bowl, add the egg and milk. Whisk to combine.
  • Add egg/milk mixture to dry ingredient/butter mixture. Use a fork to stir together until it forms a moistened dough.
    Whisking the milk and egg into the dough
  • Add fresh or frozen blackberries and gently stir into dough. It's ok if blackberries crumble a bit, it makes the scones a pretty purple color!
  • Remove dough to a lightly floured work surface. Form into an 8-inch circle. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges. Carefully transfer wedges to lined baking sheet.
  • In small bowl whisk egg wash together. Lightly brush tops of wedges with egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
  • Stir glaze together and drizzle over warm scones. Garnish with additional lime zest if desired. Serve and enjoy!
