Blueberry Scone

Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 2½ tsp. baking powder
- ¾ tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- 8 Tbsp. cold salted butter, cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup blueberries
Directions
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with some pea-size butter bits. Form a small well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Using a wooden spoon, stir gently until the dough just comes together, then gently stir in the blueberries.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough in half, then pat it out again. Repeat this process two more times. Shape the dough into a 1-inch-thick circle or rectangle. Using a sharp knife or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into wedges or rounds. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between pieces.
- Bake, rotating halfway through, until the scones are golden brown and puffed, 15–18 minutes. Set aside on the baking sheet to cool slightly, then transfer the scones to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
