Ingredients

3cupsall-purpose flour
½cupgranulated sugar
2teaspoonsbaking powder
1teaspoonbaking soda
¼teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonvanilla extract
½cupcold butter1 stick
⅔cupdried blueberries
1cupbuttermilk
For the glaze
2cupspowdered sugar
4tablespoonsmilk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add vanilla extract. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in blueberries and buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 6-8 times. Roll or pat dough out until about ¾-inch thick. Cut with a 3-inch biscuit cutter and place scones 2-inches apart on a Silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until scones are lightly browned and cooked through.
For the glaze: combine the powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Drizzle or brush the glaze over the hot scones.
Notes
Here's a trick for keeping butter cold but still working it into your dough. Grate it while frozen!
