How to Make Blackberry Orange Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add the zest of 1 large orange to the dry ingredients and mix lightly.
  4. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup milk.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups frozen blackberries.
  8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
  9. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
  10. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
