Ingredients

2 cups unbleached flour, plus more for rolling berries
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut in chunks
3/4 cup buttermilk or cream
1 egg
1 pint fresh blueberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix thoroughly. Cut
in butter using 2 forks or a pastry blender. The butter pieces should be coated with flour

and resemble crumbs.

In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg together, and then add to the flour mixture. Mix
just to incorporate, do no overwork the dough.
Roll blueberries in flour to coat, this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the
bottom of the scone when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to
bruise. Drop large tablespoons of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until brown. Cool before applying orange
glaze.
