Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Rub the cold, diced butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then fold in the blackberries.
Mix the buttermilk and vanilla extract, then add to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
Shape the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick on the prepared baking sheet.
Cut the circle into 8 wedges and separate them to allow for expansion during baking.
Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter to ensure flaky scones.
Feel free to substitute other berries, such as blueberries or raspberries, if desired.
Scones are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
