Preheat oven to 425℉. Gather the ingredients so you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, toss 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed berries with 3 tablespoons powdered sugar.
Prepare the Dough
In a medium bowl, stir together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Using a pastry fork or your fingers, cut in 1 stick butter (slivered) until mixture is crumbly.
Make a well in the middle of the bowl, and pour in 1/2 cup whole milk and 1 large egg, whisking to blend. Mix into flour mixture until just combined.
Add berries and gently fold in to combine.
Form the Scones
Turn dough onto floured counter and knead 3-4 times. Pat into a circle about 1 inch thick. Form scones, by slicing in half, repeating in halves, until you have 8-12 scones.
Place scones on the prepared baking sheet(s). Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons Decorating sugar.
Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with tea or coffee. Serves 8-12.
Notes
*Unless otherwise indicated, all butter on this recipe site is salted.**I buy 16 oz frozen berries and pick out the large strawberries and blackberries to save for another time. This keeps all of the berries about the same size, measuring between 1 - 1 1/2 cups.
