Easy and Delicious Blackberry Lime Scones

Making Blackberry Lime Scones is easy and fun. You only need simple ingredients that are probably in your kitchen already. The mix of lime’s tartness and sweet blackberries makes these scones a perfect snack anytime.

To make these tasty scones, you’ll need:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime zest
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 large eggs
1 cup fresh blackberries

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take a big bowl and mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lime zest. Then, add the butter. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until it looks like coarse crumbs.

In another bowl, mix half-and-half, lime juice, and eggs. Add this wet mix into the dry ingredients. Stir gently to just combine. Don’t overdo it; you want soft scones, not tough ones.

Now, carefully fold in the blackberries to avoid crushing them. Shape the dough into a round disk. Then cut it into eight pieces. Lay the pieces on a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Bake for 15-18 minutes. They should be golden and firm. Let them cool a bit before you serve them.

To add more lime flavour, whip up a simple lime glaze. Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Drizzle this over your warm scones. Wait for it to set before serving.

Trying out these Blackberry Lime Scones is a great idea. They’re perfect for breakfast or teatime. Each bite offers a mix of tangy lime and juicy blackberries. Give this recipe a go and enjoy these delicious treats!

Serving and Storing Blackberry Lime Scones

Blackberry Lime Scones are a wonderful treat. They are best enjoyed fresh or at room temperature. Their warm buttery feel and juicy blackberries make them a must-try.

For a bit of luxury, add clotted cream or zesty lime curd. This creamy luxury and the lime’s zest make the scones even more special.

These scones are great with tea. They match well with many teas like Earl Grey or Chamomile. Enjoy the blend of fruity and tangy flavors with your tea.

If you have scones left over, keep them for later. Just put them in an airtight box at room temperature for 2 days. To keep them longer, wrap them up and freeze for a month. When you want to eat them, thaw at room temperature or warm them slightly in the oven. This keeps their wonderful taste and texture.
