Mixed Berry Scones Recipe 
Drop scones bursting with fresh berries and a hint of citrus
These healthy mixed berry scones are delicious for a weekend breakfast, with a cup of tea, or for a satisfying after school snack. Make them with your favorite fresh or frozen berry. I like to prepare a tray of them for a friend or neighbour in need of a pick me up, too.
This recipe was inspired by one I found in a Best of Bridge cookbook. Makes 8 jumbo or 16 regular-sized scones
What You Need
- ¾ cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
- 1 egg
- 2 ¾ cups flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold butter / margarine
- 2 cups fresh or frozen berries of your choice
- ½ cup sugar
- Zest of one lemon or orange
How You Make Mixed Berry Scones
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Beat buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl and set aside
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
- Cut butter / margarine into dry mixture until it has a coarse, pea-sized crumb
- Mix in sugar, berries and citrus zest
- Add buttermilk / egg mixture and mix gently (don’t squish the berries!) to form a soft dough
- Form dough into a ball and turn out onto a floured surface
- Pat out into a circle about one inch thick and cut into your desired scone size (8 or 16) or drop onto baking seet
- Place scones on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 375 for 15 – 20 minutes
