    What are scones?

    Blackberry Scones with Blackberry Glaze

    Depending on where you live or visit, the word "scones" may refer to completely different baked goods. Scones are always baked items made with flour and a leavening agent.

    However, a scone in the United States is sweet, heavy pastry, and the dough is dry and crumbly before it is baked. American scones are often triangle-shaped, and reportedly similar to what the British refer to as "rock cakes." Our scones also often have a variety of flavors and mix-ins, and range from sweet to savory.

    British scones, on the other hand, are usually round, taller than American scones, and aren't made with as much butter. Whereas American scones tend to have more butter in the dough and are enjoyed on their own, British scones tend to be plainer so they can be enjoyed with lots of butter, cream, and/or jam.

    This recipe, just like my Mocha Chocolate Chip Scone recipe, is an American scone. It makes large, triangle scones filled with blackberries and topped with a blackberry glaze. Delicious!

    Kitchen tools and equipment

    For this recipe, you just need a few basic kitchen tools:

    Baking sheet - You will need one baking sheet to make these scones. Line the sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.

    Mixing bowls - You'll need two large mixing bowls for this recipe.

    Whisk - Use a sturdy whisk to mix together the ingredients.

    Cooling rack - It helps to allow the scones to cool completely on a cooling rack. A cooling rack also allows you to drizzle the blackberry glaze over the scones and have the drippings fall below to paper towels or parchment paper.

    Ingredients to make the scones

    ingredients to make Blackberry Scones

    Flour - I only use all-purpose flour to make scones. If you try a different type of flour, your results may vary. But please do leave a comment and let me know how it turned out.

    Baking Powder - The baking powder helps the scones rise while baking.

    Salt - Use a good kosher salt for this recipe. Since the amount is so small, you can also substitute regular table salt 1:1.

    Butter - You'll need COLD, unsalted butter, sliced thinly. I like to slice a stick of butter, place the slices on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, then leave in the refrigerator until the minute I am ready to cut the butter into the dough.

    Sugar - Use granulated sugar.

    Eggs - I use large organic free range brown eggs for most of my baking recipes. Make sure you take the eggs out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you start baking. They should be at room temperature when you add them to the batter so that they mix smoothly.

    Lemon Zest - This adds a bright zingy flavor and balances the tanginess of the sour cream in these scones.

    Sour Cream - Sour cream adds moisture to the scones without thinning the batter.

    Vanilla Extract- Use pure vanilla extract to add that classic fresh-from-the-bakery aroma and flavor to baked goods.

    Blackberries - Fresh blackberries that are in season are the best for these scones. However, you could use frozen blackberries too!

    Ingredients to make the glaze
