Mulberry Scones are flaky, buttery pastries filled with sweet-tart mulberries. These tender homemade scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen mulberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in mulberries and lemon zest carefully without overmixing.
  7. Transfer dough to a floured surface and shape into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Cut into 8 wedges and place on prepared baking sheet.
  9. Chill scones in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  10. Bake for 15–18 minutes until tops are lightly golden.
  11. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep butter and cream cold for best flakiness.
  • Do not thaw frozen mulberries before adding to the dough.
  • Avoid overmixing to prevent dense scones.
  • Chilling the dough improves rise and texture.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
