Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup cream cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until it is in pea-sized pieces. Make a well in the center of the mixture.

In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, vanilla extract, and cream cheese until smooth. Pour into the well in the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in blueberries. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Pat dough into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
