Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 1 hour
Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 300 g AP Flour 2½ cups
  • 50 g Granulated sugar ¼ cup
  • ¾ tsp Sea salt
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 113 g Unsalted butter cold, ½ cup
  • 180 g Heavy cream ¾ cup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 large Egg cold, beaten
  • 1 pint Blueberries fresh or frozen
  • optional Demerara or Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Glaze

  • 125 g Powdered sugar 1 cup
  • 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • pinch Sea salt

Instructions

  • Place your butter in the freezer for about 20 minutes before you are ready to start.
  • Line an 8.5x4.5" loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium to large bowl, weigh out your flour, then add sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda. Whisk together.
  • Remove your butter from the freezer and using a coarse grater, grate into the flour mixture. I find it helpful to grate half, mix throughout dry ingredients and then grate the second half, and mix in.
  • Create a well in the center of the bowl and pour your heavy cream, beaten egg, and vanilla into it.
  • Using a fork or a rubber spatula, push the sides into the wet ingredients and begin to bring your dough together.
  • When dough has almost come together (which will still be a very rough dough), fold in your blueberries gently.
  • The dough can be sort of in large clumps, I take that and place it into the loaf pan, gently pressing the pieces into each other to fill the spaces evenly.
  • Place your loaf pan in the freezer, and preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • When your oven is ready, remove your loaf pan from the freezer. If you do not plan to make the glaze, I recommend lightly brushing the top of your loaf with cream and sprinkling with demerara or turbinado sugar for a little extra sweetness and texture.
  • Bake your loaf on the center rack of your oven for about 60-65 minutes. The internal temperature in the center when removed should read about 190°F.
  • Let your scone loaf cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then remove to a wire cooling rack.
  • After loaf has cooled for about 30 minutes, prepare your glaze.
  • In a small bowl, add powdered sugar, lemon juice and pinch of salt. Whisk together. Glaze will be thick but ribbon off spoon or whisk easily.
  • Pour or drizzle glaze over loaf. Slice and enjoy! Store scone loaf in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
