Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup butter, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

Step 2
Whisk flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir blueberries and buttermilk into the flour mixture until combined.

Step 3
Gather dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured board for 2 minutes. Then roll dough out into a 3/4-inch-thick slab. Cut into 3-inch triangles with a sharp knife and distribute scones evenly onto the prepared baking sheets. Brush tops with egg white and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from the baking sheets and place on cooling racks. Dust tops with powdered sugar; serve warm.

Cook’s Notes:

Margarine may be used in place of butter, and frozen blueberries or raisins may be substituted for fresh blueberries.
