Easy Blueberry Scones
I love blueberry scones, especially served in the afternoon with a cup of coffee or tea. I especially love them taken to the next level when served with clotted cream or raspberry jam – delicious!! These scones are the best of both worlds – flaky and juicy! When blueberries are baked into the scone, they release their juices, creating pockets of moistness and bursts of flavor. Each bite gives a burst of sweet, juicy blueberry goodness flavor! The texture of the scones is slightly crisp and golden, providing a pleasant contrast to the soft and tender interior. The scone’s flaky layers create a light and airy texture that practically melts in your mouth. And can we talk about how good your kitchen smells when baking blueberry scones? The combination of warm butter, sweet blueberries, and freshly baked pastry creates an inviting scent that adds to the anticipation and enjoyment of eating the scones. Love scones? Try my plain scones, chocolate chip scones and pumpkin scones too!
How to Make Blueberry Scones
Prepare 2 baking sheets with nonstick spry or silicone baking mats. Mix together flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt together. Add in cold butter, cutting it in with a fork, mixing it until dough is a crumble. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy creamy and egg. Pour this mixture into the flour bowl, mixing until a dough forms. Gently fold in the blueberries, careful not to squash them. Knead dough on a floured surface. Scone dough tends to be on the sticky side, so I like to flour my hands so I can knead without the dough sticking. The texture of scone dough should be quite wet and sticky as this loose texture helps to make the the lightest, fluffiest texture once scones are baked. Separate dough into 2 balls, and then roll into 8 inch wide circles. Cut into scone triangles. Bake until golden brown. Serve scones warm and enjoy!
Toppings for Scones
Toppings are optional, as blueberry scones are delicious on their own. Besides clotted cream and jam, here are some other favs:
How to Store
To store scones and maintain their freshness, follow these simple steps:
How to Freeze:
If you need to store scones for a longer period, you can freeze them. Wrap each scone individually in plastic wrap, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Thaw frozen scones at room temperature or gently reheat in the oven or microwave before enjoying.
