Blueberry Cardamom Scones

I have a bit of an obsession with the blueberry-cardamom combo. It’s a match made in flavor heaven and I’ve got a great scone recipe with these 2 great tastes mixed perfectly!

The first time I had a scone, I think I said “blech” out loud.

That’s because the scone was overly-dry. Drier than it should have been.

Since then, I prefer to make my own that are a bit ‘softer’ and more palatable for my children.

What you need to know about these Blueberry Cardamom Scones is this: they are more than delicious! Here’s why: You get a bite of a perfectly moist and semi-soft scone, ideally with a sweet blueberry in each bite. And following the bite, you get a puff of cardamom that stays on your tongue and your palate for a brief, glorious moment. And you take another bite, and another…enjoying the sweet berries with the punch of cardamom.

That’s why these scones are more than delicious!

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Keyword: blueberry scone

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 12 Tbsp butter (cut into pieces)
• 1 pint blueberries
• 3/4 cups milk (set aside an additional 2 Tbsp)
• 2 drops Cardamom Vitality essential oil
• 2 drops Ginger Vitality essential oil
• 2 Tbsp turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter pieces with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Toss in the blueberries
• Measure the milk, then drop in the 2 drops of Cardamom essential oil and the 2 drops of Ginger essential oil.
• Pour the milk into the batter and stir gently to combine. Some of the blueberries may 'pop' and release a little liquid and that's okay. Add a little more flour if needed to keep the dough from being too sticky.
• Divide the dough in half and form into 2 balls. Form them into 6" 'disks' and cut each disk into 6 triangular scones.
• Place the scones onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a few pinchfuls of turbinado sugar onto each scone. 
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden on top.

Notes

Serve Blueberry Cardamom Scones for breakfast, with afternoon tea, or as dessert.
