Blueberry Scones - KitchenAid

PREP & COOK TIME: 30 minutes

SERVES:  10-12

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 1/2 cups self raising flour, sifted

  • 1 cup lemonade

  • 1 cup thickened cream

  • 125g fresh blueberries

Serve:

  • 300ml thickened cream

  • 2 tbsp icing sugar

  • Blueberry or strawberry jam

METHOD:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C, fan forced. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and set aside.

  2. Add the sifted self raising flour, follow by adding the lemonade and thickened cream to a large mixing bowl. Stir until it is just combined, be mindful not to over mix.

  3. Turn out the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times, don’t over knead. Add the blueberries and lightly fold to combine. Bring it into a round shape, pat the top down so it’s flat and 2.5cm high.

  4. Using a small glass, cut out circles without twisting for a clean edge. Reform the dough and repeat the process.

  5. Gently place the scones onto the baking tray, arranging them close together to help them rise.

  6. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to cool.

  7. Attach the whipping attachment to your KitchenAid food processor, pour in the thickened cream and whip until it is half whipped. Sprinkle over the icing sugar and whip future until soft peaks form.

  8. Serve the warm scones with fresh whipped cream and blueberry or strawberry jam.
