Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp Vietnamese cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ cup unsalted butter (frozen)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup blueberries
- 2 tbsp demerara sugar
Instructions
- 1
Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Mix and set aside.
- 2
Grate the frozen butter with a boxed grater. Add to the flour mixture and combine with 2 forks until the butter pieces are pea sized. Set aside in the fridge while you mix the wet ingredients.
- 3
Add heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract to a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Whisk together until combined. I preferred using a liquid measuring cup because it was easier to pour into the dry ingredients.
- 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until you see clumps form. Add the blueberries and combine.
- 5
Prepare 2 baking sheets by covering them with parchment paper.
- 6
Empty the dough onto a floured surface. Bring all the pieces together into a 7 inch disk. Cut the dough with a sharp knife into 7 triangles. They should look like small pizza slices. Transfer each piece onto the prepared baking sheet.

Brush each scone with heavy cream for that golden crust. Lastly, sprinkle demerara/turbinado sugar on top of each scone.
- 8
Place the scones in the fridge for 30 minutes too cool. This will reduce spreading in the oven.
- 9
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).

Once done cooling, bake the scones for 18-20 minutes until the tops have a light golden brown color.

Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
