Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar (granulated or Turbinado)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup blackberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest(optional)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl with a paddle attachment, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Add pieces of butter to the mixture and place in the freezer.
Step 3
Beat on medium speed until the butter is broken into pebble-sized pieces.
Step 4
Add blackberries and mix until incorporated and evenly distributed.
Step 5
Add buttermilk, mixing until the dough starts to come together. Use your hands to complete this process and turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. (If the dough doesn't seem stable enough, add a little more flour.)
Step 6
Roll the dough into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into wedges, like a pie.
Step 7
Transfer the wedges to a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes or chill in the fridge for about an hour.
Step 8
While the scones are chilling, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 9
Brush the scones with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar before placing them in the oven.
Step 10
Once the scones are browned along the sides and firm to the touch, remove them from the oven and place them on a rack to cool.
