Directions
- Stir flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Use a box grater to grate in butter; stir until well distributed.
- Whisk cream with eggs until well combined. Set aside 2 tbsp (30 mL) for glazing; mix remaining cream mixture with orange zest and juice until well combined.
- Add orange-cream mixture to flour mixture; stir, just until a ragged dough forms. Turn out onto a well-floured surface. Gently knead in unthawed blueberries, just until uniformly distributed. Shape into a large disc.
- Cut dough in half. Shape each half into a flat, round disc about 6-inches (15 cm) in diameter; cut each into 6 wedges and transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Glaze with reserved cream mixture. Sprinkle with orange sugar (if using).
- Bake in preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden on bottom and puffed. Serve warm.
Tips
- For orange sugar, blend 1/4 cup (50 mL) coarse sugar with 1 tsp (5 mL) finely grated orange zest.
- Replace blueberries with frozen raspberries or dried cranberries.
- Unbaked scones can be frozen on a baking sheet; then transferred to an airtight container or freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes as needed.
