Ingredients:
1 Cup Aroniaberries
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
3 Tablespoons Sugar
2 1/4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Cup + 1 Tablespoon Butter (chilled)
1 Large Egg
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Cut the chilled butter into small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients. 
4.     Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Gently fold in the Aroniaberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
9. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into wedges and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
10. Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra buttermilk for a golden finish.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
12. Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, or freeze a batch for later and simply microwave for 20 seconds whenever you need a delicious treat!
