Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (plus 1 tablespoon for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh mulberries (or frozen, added unthawed)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in mulberries (and lemon zest if using), avoiding overmixing.
  7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently form into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush tops lightly with cream.
  10. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep butter and cream cold for flakier texture.
  • Avoid overmixing to prevent dense scones.
  • If using frozen mulberries, do not thaw before mixing.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze baked scones for up to 2 months and reheat in oven before serving.
