My partner loves the movie, perhaps i will surprise them with the authentic thing!
Here’s my contribution, from my salad days before I became unable to digest dairy, eggs, and gluten.
Blueberry Scones Kit Wishes They Could Still Eat But They’re Not Mad About It Or Anything
Summary
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen but thawed enough that you can chop it into bits
- ½ cup blueberries, pref. frozen (optional)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon white sugar (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Mix your powders (flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda) together. Chop the frozen butter into chunks and knead it into the dry ingredients until it’s kinda crumbly but not so much that the butter totally dissolves. You want lil’ flakes and chunks. This is good practice for pie dough! Then add your berries and mix until they’re distributed.
Whisk sour cream and egg together in a small bowl until combined, then pour it in with everything else and mix until large dough clumps form.
Form the dough into a single ball (if it doesn’t cohere, knead it a little more) and flatten it onto a lightly floured surface.
Press it into a 7-8 inch circle and chop it into eight pieces like a pizza. You can stick some more berries on top and sprinkle a bit of sugar over them if you want them to be extra pretty and tasty.
Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. You can let them cool for a few minutes and dig in or wait a few hours until they’ve firmed up, they’re great either way.
