Blueberry Scones

Blueberry Scones will fix all your worries. Okay. Maybe not, but they sure are delicious and easy to make. This recipe creates the most tender, flaky center with a crispy outer layer. You really can use any berries, but blueberries are a classic choice.

If you want another flavor option then you must try my Lemon Raspberry Scones. They will brighten up any rainy day. You could also bring a smile to anyone’s face baking up a batch of my Easy Orange Sweet Rolls. If you are wanting to keep with the blueberry theme you could try these Blueberry Shortcakes or my Blueberry Brownie Bites.

Breakfast, brunch or lunch. I could eat pastries anytime of day.

Scones make any event even better. These freeze really well, also. Bake up a batch and always have them on hand!

How To Make Scones

  • Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl
  • Add in cubed butter and cut into dry ingredients until small pea size clumps form.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, 3/4 heavy cream, and egg.
  • Make a well in your dry ingredients and pour in milk mixture into the center.
  • Using a fork gently mix together. Do not over mix.
  • Turn out mixture onto a lightly flour surface and gently knead the dough about 4-5 times.
  • Sprinkle blueberries over half the dough and fold it in half.
  • Roll out into a circle about 6 inches wide.
  • Fold dough in half and then half again.
  • Roll out into a circle about 1 1/2 inches thick.
  • Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 8 wedges.
  • Place onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
