Saskatoon Berry Scones

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 0.33 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2.5 tsp Baking Powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 cup Cold Butter
• 0.75 cup Heavy Cream
• 1 cup Saskatoon Berries

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line one baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of All-Purpose Flour, 0.33 cup of Granulated Sugar, 2.5 tsp of Baking Powder, and 0.5 tsp of Salt until well combined.
3. 3Add the 0.5 cup of Cold Butter, cut into small pieces, to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, with no large pieces of butter remaining.
4. 4Pour in the 0.75 cup of Heavy Cream. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the ingredients are just combined and no dry flour is visible. Do not overmix the dough.
5. 5Gently fold in the 1 cup of Saskatoon Berries until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. 6Turn the dough out onto a clean, flat surface. Gently pat the dough with your hands to form a circle approximately 1-inch thick.
7. 7Use a knife to cut the dough circle into 6 equal wedges. Carefully transfer these 6 wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
8. 8Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The scones are done when their tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.
9. 9Serve the Saskatoon Berry Scones warm with clotted cream or butter.
