How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Scones

Step 1

To make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix on low to for 2 to 3 rotations to combine the dry ingredients.

Using a large grater, grate the butter and add to the flour mixture. Don’t mix yet.

Add the egg, cream cheese, and milk, and mix on low to combine. You’ll have to scrape the bowl to help combine the dry ingredients, and I find it’s easier to finish combining with your hands. Add in the blueberries and mix to combine completely.

Step 2

Using your hands, form the dough into a round disk that is about 7-inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 triangle pieces like a pie. Separate the pieces so they are spaced evenly apart.

Step 3

For the topping: In a small dish, add the 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream for the topping. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the scones to coat completely. Sprinkle the tops with the turbinado sugar.

Step 4

Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Step 5

Bake for 22 to 26 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the bottoms. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. (Make sure to check the note at the bottom of the recipe for high altitude!)

Why Organic

Why use organic ingredients in this recipe? You all know I’m a huge organic advocate, and I bet you may be thinking sometimes, Why would I even bother to use organic ingredients in something that is so sweet and indulgent? But, that is the exact reason why you should use organic ingredients! Sweet things need to have flavor in order to be good, otherwise they are just sweet and they don’t taste like much else. Organic ingredients are more pure than conventional ones, therefore they actually have more flavor than the non organic options. Say it with me, organic means more flavor! And not just more flavor but a more true and pure flavor. And organic ingredients are much healthier for you to eat in general as they do not contain GMOs or anything artificial. Plus, you are being environmentally friendly when you choose organic ingredients!

So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here.
