Ingredients
For the scones you will need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of fresh mixed berries.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender, mix the butter into the flour until it is in small crumbles. Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and fresh berries to the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Gently roll the dough out into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the scones for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

For an extra bit of sweetness, you can sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar on top of the scones before baking. You can also add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra flavor boost.
