Ingredients

Orange Honey Butter:

1 quart heavy cream
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup honey
Pinch salt

Berry Buttermilk Scones:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling scones
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups fresh mixed berries (e.g. blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), washed and dried
3/4 cup buttermilk, (leftover from orange butter), plus more to brush scones

Directions

You can do this the old fashioned way and add ingredients to a mason jar, cover with the lid and shake vigorously for 10 minutes, or you can use the food processor.

In a food processor bowl add all the ingredients and turn on high. The liquid will slosh, whip and then separate after about 4 minutes. When the mixture separates, (these are the butter solids and buttermilk), stop processing and strain out the buttermilk - there will be just under a cup. Reserve the buttermilk to make the scones. Strain out the butter and squeeze dry. Work the butter a couple of times to bring it together to form a nice ball. Refrigerate butter until ready to use.

For the scones:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a food processor bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until you have the texture of coarse bread crumbs. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, then add 3/4 cup of buttermilk and stir to combine. As it comes together add berries and fold dough to incorporate berries but not break them up too much.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Using a pastry brush, paint the tops of each scone lightly with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake until golden brown, and nice and puffy, about 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.

Serve warm with the Orange Honey Butter.

Delicious!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I didn't make my own butter, but the scones still had a wonderfl buttery taste. The only downside for me was that the... fresh-picked blackberries I used were crushed too easily when I stirred them in. I think this would be a great recipe for any dried fruit because it'd be easier to mix! I'm trying dried cherries next time!Read more

perfect scones
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

the scones are perfect- light fluffy golden brown and buttery. much better than any restaurant or store scone i've had! and... ready in minutes, i never knew it was so easy. the butter, while fun and easy to make, just didn't seem to have enough flavour for me though. fun to say you made your own, but not much different than just normal butter in my opinion. def mix the berries in with the flour before the milk... def use a stand mixer to avoid a mess in your food pro...

Great Scones
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

These were really easy to make. I had a hard time gauging my oven though. They were toasty in about 10 minutes - the recipe... called for at least 17 min. I made the butter which was pretty fun. I cut the ingredients in half and so glad that I did. I was able to squeeze out plenty of buttermilk. I gave this recipe 3 stars because I thought the buttermilk and butter was pretty bland. Next time I would probably buy buttermilk. Read more

First time making scones!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wow, the scones were absolutely delicious. The recipe was easy to follow and they came out perfect. I didn?t have a chance to... make the homemade butter, but I did zest orange and added a little honey and mixed that all together. I chilled the butter mixture while the scones were baking. I served them to my family and the only thing I added was a little raspberry jam on the side. For me, it was a perfect compliment. My family thoroughly enjoyed them. I will definitely be making these again! Thank You Tyler!Read more

Great treat for the kids!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Brought some fresh blue berries / butter at the farmers market to put in this just for extra homemade flavor! Scones turned... out great but I was confused on butter, mine looked like homemade ice cream? I was concerned when it had the consistency of homemade ice cream but it held well leaving no milk for the scones. Tasted great the next day and didn't melt fast like I would've thought. My only complaint is butter is so good caught myself eating like pudding, that must be why ALL butter doesn't taste this good!Read more

Wa, Wa, Wa, WOW
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I have never made butter before. Tyler's directions on TV were so simple a child could make butter. I only have Tupelo honey... on the cabinet, I am not sure if it was the use of this honey, but the flavor of the butter was so rich and sinfully sweet. The scones were delightful, I had issues with berry bleeding, I used thawed berries instead of fresh. The melting butter on the scones made the recipe for me. This is such a simple recipe, I'll be making this for my friend coming to town. Read more
