Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • medium-sized bowl
  • fork
  • Whisk
  • Ice cream scoop

Ingredients
  

FOR THE SCONES:

  • 2 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into ¼" cubes)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

FOR THE GLAZE:

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon buttermilk

Instructions
 

TO MAKE THE SCONES:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients until well blended.
  • Add cold butter cubes to your dry blend and toss to fully coat them in flour. Work the butter into the flour until no chunks remain.
  • Add blueberries and toss with the crumb mixture until fairly well distributed.
  • Stir together buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla until well blended. Add wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined.
  • Scoop dough into rounds using ⅓ cup of dough per scone and place on a prepared baking sheet at least 3” apart.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and the center feels set.

TO MAKE THE GLAZE:

  • Mix together all the glaze ingredients with a fork until smooth and well blended.
  • When scones are just a little warm, drizzle glaze over the tops and allow excess to drip off.
  • Allow glaze to set for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

If using frozen blueberries, keep them in the freezer until just before adding them to the batter.
