Time 35m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons blueberry preserves
1 tablespoon pomegranate juice
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
⅓ cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons lemon zest
½ teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped almonds
1 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place 2 tablespoons blueberries in a microwaveable bowl; heat in the microwave until very soft, about 20 seconds. Stir in the preserves and pomegranate juice; set aside.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar in a small bowl using an electric hand mixer. Beat in the egg. Add the milk, almond extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the blueberry mixture, continuing to beat until combined.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the blueberry mixture, continually beating until you have a soft dough. Fold the almonds and 1 cup blueberries into the dough. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lined baking sheets.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would use less flour next time.

These scones were really good, but they were a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I would add a little more flour next time.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted chopped walnuts. The scones still turned out great!
