    Once you make your fist scones, you’re hooked on them ;)

    Why? Because they are so easy and fast to make and sooooo good! The might not be the prettiest baked goods, but who cares about that when you have something really delicious on your plate? ;) You can expect much more recipes for scones from me in the future. These here with rhubarb were also amazing. Queen Elisabeth II would be proud! For sure. Maybe I should bring her some when she is in town this week.

    Back to the scones – easy to make – already said that… you basically just mix everything together, make a round disc and cut it into slices like a pizza (or you use a round cookie cutter to get round ones). Bake, glaze, done. Easy as that ;)

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch
    (8 scones)

    For the dough:
    1/2 cup (120ml) milk
    1/2 cup (100g) sour cream (schmand)
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
    2 tsp. baking powder
    1/4 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 cup (100g) sugar
    1/2 tsp. salt
    zest of 1 organic lemon
    1/2 cup (110g) cold butter
    2 cups (200g) fresh blueberries

    For the glaze:
    1 cup (130g) confectioner’s sugar
    1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
    1-2 tbsp. lemon juice

    (8 Scones)

    Für den Teig:
    120ml Milch
    100g Schmand
    1 TL Vanille Extrakt
    260g Mehl (Type 405)
    2 TL Backpulver
    1/4 TL Natron
    100g Zucker
    1/2 TL Salz
    Abrieb von 1 Bio-Zitrone
    110g kalte Butter
    200g frische Blaubeeren

    Für die Glasur:
    130g Puderzucker
    1/4 TL Vanille Extrakt
    1-2 EL Zitronensaft

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 390˚F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl mix milk, sour cream and vanilla extract. Place in the fridge until needed. Wash the blueberries and let drain.

    2. In a large bowl mix flour with baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and lemon zest. Add the cold butter in small pieces and toss until the butter is covered with the flour mix. Cut the butter into even smaller pieces by using a dough scraper until you get pea-sizes pieces of butter. Add the sour cream mix and stir with a spatula until almost combined. Add the blueberries and gently fold in – try not to damage the blueberries.

    3. Transfer the (quite sticky) dough to a floured surface and form a disk with a thickness of about 1 inch (2,5cm). Cut into 8 triangles (like a pizza) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes – the scones should have a nice golden crust. Let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    4. In a small bowl mix confectioner’s sugar with vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. The glaze should not be too runny – add more lemon juice if it is too thick. Sprinkle over the scones and let dry (or at least try to let it dry before eating).

    1. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. In einer kleinen Schüssel die Milch mit dem Schmand und Vanille Extrakt vermischen. In den Külschrank stellen, bis es wieder gebraucht wird. Blaubeeren waschen und abtropfen lassen.

    2. In einer großen Schüssel das Mehl mit Backpulver, Natron, Zucker, Salz und Zitronenschale vermischen. Die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und im Mehl schwenken, bis sie komplett mit Mehl bedeckt ist. Die Butter mit der Hilfe eines Teigschabers in etwa erbsengroße Stücke zerteilen. Schmand-Milch-Mix zugeben und verrühren, bis es sich alles grob verbunden hat. Die Blaubeeren zugeben und vorsicht unterheben – die Beeren sollten unbeschädigt bleiben, da sie sonst den Teig färben.

    3. Den (leicht klebrigen) Teig auf eine bemehlte Fläche geben und eine runde Scheibe mit etwa 2,5cm (1 inch) Dicke formen. Wie eine Pizza in 8 Dreiecke schneiden und auf das vorbereitete Backblech legen. Im Ofen für 18-20 Minuten backen – die Scones sollten eine goldbraune Farbe bekommen haben. Auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    4. In einer kleinen Schüssel den Puderzucker mit dem Vanille Extrakt und 1 EL Zitronensaft verrühren. Sollte die Glasur zu dickflüssig sein, noch etwas Zitronensaft zugeben, bis die richtige Konsistenz erreicht ist. Scones damit glasieren und trocknen lassen.

      Ich war gerade das erste Mal auf deinem Blog… Dabei folge ich dir bei FB und Insta schon länger… Wie konnte ich mir das bisher nur entgehen lassen?! Wirklich sehr schön hier bei dir.
      Deine Scones sehen einfach nur zu gut aus – das musste ich jetzt mal loswerden! Klingt einfach nur perfekt ♥

      Liebste Grüße,

        Hallo Nadine,

        erstmal Danke für’s Kompliment! :)
        Kenne das auch – man folgt auf Instagram und sieht dann ein interessantes Bild und schaut auf den dazugehörigen Blog und merkt – ups – hier war ich ja noch gar nicht, obwohl man denkt man kennt sie eigentlich schon alle ;)

        LG

      Hi,
      Thank you for sharing this recipe. This past week end I prepared Cherry Lime Scones based on this recipe.
      I didn’t have sour cream and blueberries so I used Greek yogurt and cherries. The result was so good that I prepared them twice on the same day!!
      By the way, I discovered your blog just lately and I’m liking it.
      Wishing you all the best.

          Hi Marc,
          This recipe is becoming my basic scones recipe!!!
          Made these scones again, last week. This time it’s with bananas and slightly changed the measurements for the flour, milk and yogurt.
          They come out soft and good.
          Wishing you all the best…

      Ich bin durch einen anderen Blog hier gelandet und habe die Scones gleich mal ausprobiert.
      Sie schmecken wunderbar und das Backen hat Spaß gemacht. Was will man mehr?
      Nur die Dreiecks-Form habe ich nicht hinbekommen, da der Teig sich nicht so gut in Stücke teilen ließ aber rund geht ja auch.

      Freue mich schon auf das nächste Rezept, das ich ausprobiere.

        Hallo Lila,

        das Problem hatte ich auch schon mal – wenn man sieht, dass er Teig etwas zu feucht wird, einfach noch etwas Mehl zugeben – vertragen die Scones ohne Probleme :)

        Grüße

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
