Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 8 tablespoons Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 Large Egg

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Grate the salted butter using the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl.
  4. Step 4: Sieve the dry flour mixture into the grated butter.
  5. Step 5: Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, then gently toss in the fresh blueberries.
  6. Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Truvia sweetener, and egg until combined.
  7. Step 7: Stir the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture using your fingers until the dough begins to clump. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball. The dough may seem dry at first but will come together as you work it.
  8. Step 8: On a lightly floured surface, gently pat the dough into a 9-inch circle.
  9. Step 9: Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 equal triangles, like slicing a pie.
  10. Step 10: Place the scones on the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  11. Step 11: Bake for about 15 minutes until the scones are golden and cooked through.
  12. Step 12: Let the scones cool for 5 minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.

Tips & Variations

  • Use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t available; just toss them in without thawing to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the sour cream with coconut yogurt or a plant-based sour cream alternative.
  • Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough for a bright citrus flavor that complements the blueberries.
  • If you prefer sweeter scones, sprinkle a little raw sugar on top before baking for a crunchy finish.

Storage

Store any leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Reheat frozen scones in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes or until warmed through to restore freshness.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use a different sweetener instead of Truvia?

Yes, you can substitute with an equal amount of granulated sugar, honey, or maple syrup, but note that liquid sweeteners may require adjusting the wet ingredients slightly.

How do I prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom?

Toss the blueberries with a little flour before folding them into the dough. This helps distribute them evenly and prevents them from sinking during baking.

  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Tray: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Set this mixture aside to use later.
  3. Grate Butter: Using the large holes of a box grater, grate 8 tablespoons of salted butter into a large mixing bowl. This method helps evenly distribute the butter for a flaky texture.
  4. Sift Dry Ingredients into Butter: Sift the flour mixture into the grated butter bowl to combine dry ingredients with butter evenly.
  5. Work Butter into Flour: Using your fingers, gently work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, gently toss in 1 cup of fresh blueberries to distribute them without breaking.

  7. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Stir the sour cream mixture into the flour and butter mixture using your fingers until the dough begins to clump together. Then, shape the dough into a ball with your hands. Note that the dough may seem dry initially but will come together as you work it.
  8. Shape Dough: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 9-inch diameter circle, preparing it to be cut evenly.
  9. Cut Into Triangles: Using a sharp knife, cut the dough circle into 8 equal triangular pieces, similar to slicing a pie.
  10. Arrange on Baking Tray: Place the scones onto the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are spaced about 1 inch apart to allow for even baking and expansion.
  11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the scones turn golden brown on top.
  12. Cool and Serve: Let the scones cool for 5 minutes on the tray before serving. They are best enjoyed warm for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen blueberries can be used but may add extra moisture and make the dough softer.
  • Grating the butter ensures small pieces are distributed evenly, which helps achieve flaky scones.
  • Do not overwork the dough to prevent tough scones; handle gently once the dough comes together.
  • Serve warm, possibly with a light spread of butter or clotted cream for an extra indulgent touch.
  • Truvia® Stevia is used as a sugar substitute to reduce calories and sugar content while maintaining sweetness.
