Turn out the scone dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a long, 1"-thick rectangle or round.

An easy recipe for Sourdough Scones with Berries and Lemon Glaze using Sourdough Starter! Plus an easy tip to help keep your berries intact! Vegan Adaptable!

 Sourdough Scones with Blackberries &amp; Lemony Glaze

blackberries (or raspberries

all-purpose flour (see notes)

lemon

tsp baking powder

butter-

sourdough starter (275 grams)

milk

Lemon

Sugar

butter (optional)

Line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment and fill with 2 cups fresh berries.  If your berries are very tender, freeze for 30-60 minutes beforehand, this way they will hold their shape ( and not smash) a little better.

In a food processor, pulse flour, lemon zest, salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Pulse in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse sand.

In a small bowl mix milk and sourdough starter together. Add the starter mixture to the food processor and pulse until it just forms a ball (just a few times) adding a little more milk only if necessary. Dough should be heavy and thick. Don&#8217;t overwork it.

Spread the dough over the berries and press down gently, into all the corners with your fingers. Place in the freezer for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 400F. Remove dough from the freezer and invert on cutting board. Let sit a few minutes or longer until thawed enough to cut. Cut into 8 equal size pie shape wedges. Brush with beaten egg (optional). Space them 2 inches apart (they will puff and spread a bit) on parchment-lined baking sheet, let thaw 20-30 minutes and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

While baking, make the glaze. Stir sugar into lemon juice in a small pot on the stove until dissolved. Whisk in butter (optional). Set aside. Drizzle over warm scones.

FANTASTIC!  Got home from the blueberry patch, already had sourdough waiting on the cupboard for pizza and swapped to scones!  Used good brand of whole wheat pastry flour for 1 cup and it came out delicious, moist and flaky.  Thank you!  My sourdough starter is over 100 years old!

I made Sourdough Blueberry Scones using this recipe. 
Turned out fantastically
Thank you

These were amazing. I used blueberries. I didn’t have a lemon so I used lemon extract.  Excellent taste, beautiful eye appeal. I wish I could share a photo. Love this recipe! Food processor did all the work.  I did post it on a discard Facebook group I belong to with a link.

Love this recipe!  I’ve made it a few times exactly as recipe (minus the glaze) and they turned out perfect!  Today I experimented with substituting spelt flour for all of the AP &amp; added 1/2 cup dried ginger &amp; 1 cup dried cherries (soaked in brandy) instead of the fresh/frozen fruit and it was a hit!

Amazing scones! I don't have a food processor, so I mixed everything by hand, and they came out perfect. I used frozen blackberries, so I didn't have to freeze the dough.

Made these berry lemon sourdough scones yesterday and they are delicious! I used frozen mixed berries and white bread flour rather than all purpose. I was worried the sourdough taste would be too apparent but no one tasted it. They were light    In texture and just the right sweetness

Absolutely delicious, Sylvia!

Thank you for sharing. I was gifted a ‘sourdough starter’ and 9 pages of instructions (yikes) based on ‘folding the starter’ over a 24 hour period, In preparation.  It was a flop!  

Searching online, I found you and HAPPINESS!!! Made the 6 day ‘sourdough starter’ to perfection and VOILA! Perfect sourdough loaf in a Dutch oven. Wow! Thank you.

It was your explanation, to save the leftover ‘sourdough starter mix’ for baking.  I made these amazing berry scones and have Friends begging for more... I gave them your website To ‘follow’ while I’m experimenting with more of your recipes.

An absolute treat, and now... in the talk of Town!! lol! Well, with my friends Anyway.

Thanks for the wonderful recipes, I’m going to try all your recipes! And so much more! 

Feeling smug and satisfied! Delicious 😋 

✨👍🙏🥰

Best scone recipe I have come across and my new favorite way to use discard starter!

This blackberry scones recipe is loaded with fresh blackberries, giving them a sweet, tart and buttery taste that melts in your mouth.

tsp baking soda

tsp sea salt

unsalted butter, frozen

blackberries,

buttermilk

tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. 

Grate the cold butter using a cheese grater. This is an easy way to get it into small pieces to incorporate in the dry ingredients. If you do not have a cheese grater, you can just cut into small cubes. Blend the grated butter in with the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or 2 knives. The mixture should be clumpy and look like course crumbs. Mix in the blackberries.

In a small measuring cup, mix together the buttermilk and vanilla. Mix into the flour mixture until JUST incorporated. DO NOT over mix, this will make the scones too dense.&nbsp;

Put a small amount of flour onto a clean surface and knead the dough briefly. Shape the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle in half and then each half into 4 wedges. (8 total)

Put the wedges on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little bit of milk and then lightly sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 20-22 minutes until tops are golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

Wonderful scone recipe! I modified it slightly by adding 1/2 tsp of vanilla bean paste to the buttermilk/ vanilla extract mixture and 1 tsp of fresh orange zest mixed with a pinch of granulated sugar right after adding the blackberries. I brushed the tops of the scones with buttermilk and added a pinch of sugar to the tops. These aren’t sugary at all and I’m so pleased!

My friends repeatedly tell me that they've been thinking about these scones and I should bring them again, even the ones who don't like scones!
10/10

First time doing scone ,verry tasty ,will do it again , thanks' , I add some lemon.

I added about an extra 1/4 cup of flour and it turned out perfect!

These are one of the best scones I have had. Even as a 12 year old, it was so easy to make these. They taste amazing too! I will be making these for may years to come.

Really enjoyed these! They were the perfect texture- not dense at all. They were slightly bland for my taste so next time I would add a little more sugar, a little more salt, and maybe a bit of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

These turned out great - not too sweet with an addictive taste.  Thank you.

AMAZING!! Substituted 1:1 gluten free flour and these turned out to be one of the best gluten free treats I have ever had. I shared them with family and friends who all were shocked that it was gluten free. Also made a light drizzle with powdered sugar, milk, almond and vanilla extract to top it. So glad to have come across this website - we love every recipe from it!!

The dough was so wet I wasn’t able to work the dough at all. I used a scone pan to get the shape. Tasted good.
