These blueberry scones are so good. They are one of my favorite things for breakfast with coffee.
2 cups self-rising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 stick or 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup blueberries
2/3 cup walnut pieces
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter until mixture is like coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and whipping cream. Add to the flour mixture. Mix until becomes a dough. Fold in blueberries and nuts. Spread dough on a floured surface and pat or roll out in medium sized squares about 1 inch thick. Cut squares into triangles. (I use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into triangles) Spray a baking sheet and place scones on sheet where they don’t touch each other. Brush the tops with melted butter and bake in 425 degree oven 20 to 25 minutes. Makes about 12 scones depending on size you cut your triangles. Serve with your favorite jam, jelly, butter, syrup or topping. We like them with the topping recipe below drizzled over the scones. Enjoy!

I’m wondering about using baking powder with self rising flour? I’ve never seen these two together in a recipe, and I’m just curious. BTW, these look delicious.
It just adds a little more rise to the scones, Liz.
No whipping cream…. got a substitute?
Check here Tonia. I have not tried these in this recipe though: http://www.ehow.com/list_6059749_substitutes-whipping-cream.html
I’m not fond of blueberries;. Would another fruit like cherries or strawberries work in this recipe? Thanks
Yes, I think you could use another fruit.
i followed the recipe, but my batter was really runny. when i added more flour it was too soft to handle. any ideas why or other suggestions to rectify this?
If you followed the recipe, I don’t know what happened. If the flour is too soft to handle, I usually add enough flour until I can handle it. Maybe, your whipping cream was too thin or your butter too soft.
It would be nice to know the fat, calorie and sugar content of your recipes, and to also see some low in these contents. Thanks!
