Ingredients

To make these delightful Blackberry Scones, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups self-rising flour (or 2 cups flour + 1 tbsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)

• 1 container fresh blackberries (~ 1 ½ cups)

Full ingredient list with measurements is provided in the printable recipe card below.

How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making these scrumptious scones!

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F.
2. In a medium bowl, measure out 2 cups of self-rising flour. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can easily make your own by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tbsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt.
3. Add the blackberries and sugar to the flour mixture and stir gently. I love keeping the blackberries whole for big juicy bites in every scone!
4. Measure out 1 ½ cups of whipping cream into a measuring cup, then pour it into the flour mixture and stir until combined.
5. Use your hands to gather the dough together. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a bit of extra flour on your hands.
6. Transfer the dough onto a sprayed baking sheet and pat it into a circle about ¾” thick.
7. Slice the dough into 8 wedges.
8. Bake at 475°F for 12-15 minutes until golden on top and the middle is cooked through.
9. Enjoy your scones warm, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your scones turn out perfectly every time:

• Don’t overmix the dough; it should be just combined for the fluffiest scones.
• Feel free to experiment with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a twist on this Berry Scones Recipe.
• If you want to add a touch of sweetness, consider drizzling a simple glaze over the scones once they cool.
• For a fun variation, try adding chocolate chips to the dough for Chocolate Scones.

How to Serve

These Blackberry Scones are delightful on their own, but you can elevate your serving game by:

• Pairing them with a side of whipped cream or clotted cream for a luxurious touch.
• Serving them alongside a fresh fruit salad or a refreshing Cucumber Vinegar Salad.
• Enjoying them with a cup of tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these scones ahead of time, you can:

• Make the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
• Store baked scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Freeze unbaked scones for up to 2 months. Just bake them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

So there you have it! A quick and easy recipe for Blackberry Scones that will impress your family and friends.
