Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.Add the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.Add blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the dough. If using frozen blueberries, do this carefully to prevent the dough from turning blue.Shape the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut the dough into 8 wedges, or use a round cutter for a more traditional scone shape.Bake: Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with a little heavy cream, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.Serve: Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, perhaps with a dollop of clotted cream or jam!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
