Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Using a food processor, pulse together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3
Add in the cubed frozen butter and pulse until the butter looks like sand with a few small pebbles in it.
4
Add the 3/4 cup of heavy cream, maple extract, and vanilla, then pulse until the mixture has just barely come together but is still crumbly.
5
Pour the dough out onto a surface and carefully fold in the blueberries. Form the dough into a round disk about 1 inch thick, careful not to squish too many blueberries in the process. Cut the disc into 8 large wedges. *Note: for small scones, you can cut the disc into 12 wedges.*
6
Place the scone wedges onto the baking sheet and lightly brush the tops of them with the additional 1 to 2 tbsp of heavy cream. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown in color. Remove the scones from the oven when done and let them sit for a couple of minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
7
While scones cool, make your glaze by whisking the ingredients together until smooth. The glaze should be just slightly runny so that you can pour it over the scones but not super thin.
8
Drizzle the scones with the salted maple glaze. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee for tastiest results.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Keep Butter Ice-Cold ❄️Freeze your diced butter for at least 30 minutes before mixing into the dry ingredients to create those signature crumbly, flaky layers that make premium scones irresistible.
- Fold Blueberries Last 🫐Add fresh blueberries as the final ingredient and fold gently to prevent them from breaking down and staining the dough, while ensuring even distribution throughout each scone.
- Don't Overwork the Dough 🙌Mix ingredients until just combined—overworking develops gluten and makes scones tough instead of tender; use a light hand and stop as soon as no dry flour remains.
- Toast Sea Salt on Top ✨Sprinkle sea salt directly on the dough before baking so it caramelizes slightly and adheres perfectly, then add more to the finished maple glaze for maximum sweet-salty contrast.
- Brush Heavy Cream Before Baking 🧈Brush the assembled scones with heavy cream and a touch of maple syrup right before baking to create a beautiful golden exterior and enhanced maple flavor that bakes into the scone.
