Ingredients
  

For the Scones:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 8 ounces butter cut into small pieces (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs (plus 1 for egg wash)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Method:
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your scones bake evenly and achieve that beautiful golden-brown color.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the scones from sticking and make clean-up a breeze.
  3. Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Cut in the Butter - Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Add Blueberries and Chocolate Chips - Gently fold in the blueberries and chocolate chips, being careful not to break the berries.
  6. Step 6: Combine Wet Ingredients - In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Step 7: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
  8. Step 8: Shape the Dough - Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
  9. Step 9: Egg Wash - Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  10. Step 10: Bake - Bake the scones in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  11. Step 11: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack.
