how to make Blueberry Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
Additional sugar for sprinkling

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

how to serve Blueberry Scones

Serve the blueberry scones warm from the oven. They are delicious on their own, but you can also enjoy them with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey. For an extra touch, serve alongside a cup of tea or coffee for a cozy treat.

how to store Blueberry Scones

Store any leftover blueberry scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the scones. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They will stay fresh for about a month in the freezer. To enjoy again, simply reheat them in the oven until warm.

tips to make Blueberry Scones

Use cold butter: Cold butter helps create flaky layers in the scones.
Don’t overmix: Mix the dough until it’s just combined to keep the scones tender.
Fresh blueberries work best: They provide the most flavor and juiciness.

variation

For a twist on the classic blueberry scone, you can try adding a tablespoon of lemon zest for a refreshing citrus flavor. You can also substitute other berries like raspberries or blackberries if you prefer.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but be aware that they may make the dough slightly wetter. Do not thaw them before adding.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough, cut it into wedges, and refrigerate it for up to a few hours before baking.

What can I serve with blueberry scones?
Blueberry scones pair well with butter, clotted cream, jam, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar. They also taste great with a hot beverage like coffee or tea.
