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.

Scones Are Flat
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've made these several times now, and each time they come out flat like pancakes. I used new baking powder and soda. Even... though they're flat, they're still delicious. It's my daughter's favorite food for me to make when she's in from college. To Melissa from MD: I had the same problem with the liquid spilling out from both places on the food processor. Can anyone give me any tips on why they're flat?Read more

Tonight will be the fourth time I've made these absolutely delicious and easy scones. They are ALWAYS a huge hit with... friends and family. I'm making a batch for my parents to take with them to celebrate their 45th anniversary in Carmel, CA. I can't think of anything better they could enjoy with their morning coffee. Thanks again Tyler. You NEVER disappoint me. :) Denise Valentine Hayward, CARead more

Perfection!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So I've wanted to try making these ever since I saw it on TV but I never had a food processor, Anyway, I just got one last... night and made these today. They were aMaZiNg!!!!! Scones had a delicious outer crust and the middle was moist, soft and scrumptious. The butter was so great too and so easy to do! For the readers that thought it was bland, I would suggest just adding a little more salt. I accidentally over-mixed the berries in the dough a little too much so they actually came out quite hideous, but tasted fabulous! So try not to over mix or it will come out looking like alien poop. Thanks Tyler!!!! :) <3Read more

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
