Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
  • 1/3 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 c. (1 stick) cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 c. fruit, such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or a mix (chopped, if large)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 c. heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and, using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut butter into flour until the size of peas. Add fruit and toss to coat.

  2. 2

    Make a well in mixture and add eggs and heavy cream. Mix with your hands until just combined. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into an 8" round. Cut into 8 triangles and place on prepared baking sheet. (At this point, you can freeze the scones if you like, for later.) 

  3. 3

    Brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until lightly golden, 20 to 22 minutes. (Add another 5 to 10 minutes if baking from frozen.) 

  4. 4

    Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer the scones to a rack to cool completely.
