These fluffy huckleberry cream scones are tender and moist with bursts of wild huckleberries and a fragrant vanilla bean drizzle, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh or frozen huckleberries (wild blueberries can be substituted)
  • For the Vanilla Bean Drizzle:
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30–45ml) heavy cream
  • Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Carefully fold in the huckleberries, handling gently to avoid color bleed.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into an 8-inch (20cm) circle about 1 inch (2.5cm) thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
  8. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. While the scones cool, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla bean seeds, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to make the drizzle. Adjust cream to achieve pourable consistency.
  10. Drizzle the vanilla bean glaze over the warm scones and let set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky texture. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Fold in frozen berries gently without thawing to prevent color bleed. Drizzle glaze while scones are warm but not hot. Tent scones with foil if browning too quickly.
