Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • zest of two limes finely minced
  • 1/2 cup very cold butter cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. I start these in my food processor because it is so fast but they can be made just as easily in a large bowl by cutting the butter in with a pastry blender or even 2 knifes held between the fingers.
  2. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, lime zest and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter by pulse processing until this mixture resembles a coarse meal. Remove to a large bowl and toss in the blackberries.
  4. Mix together the buttermilk, lime juice and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour this over the surface of the dry mixture. Toss all together gently with a rubber spatula, only enough to form a dough ball.
  6. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking pan.Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 -20 minutes or until light golden brown. Baking time will vary depending on the size of your scones. This recipe makes about 12 large drop scones/
