These rich scones make a perfect Easter treat to share. They are a bit sweeter than most scones and have a delectably tender crumb topping. —Teresa Ralston, New Albany, Ohio

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
1 large egg

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk together first four ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together egg, cream and vanilla; add to crumb mixture, stirring just until moistened. Stir in blueberries. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets.
For streusel, in a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Press gently onto scones.
