Ingredients (serves 8):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries

Cooking Tips:

- Use cold butter to ensure that the scones are flaky and tender.
- Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
8. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick.
9. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Serve warm with butter, jam, or whipped cream.
