Scones can be purchased at coffee shops but can sometimes be heavy or dense. These scones are favorites for us, tender, delicious, and a lot less pricey! And we love the pop of sweet blueberries with a little zing of lemon zest.
And that dreamy glaze! My family swears this is the best blueberry scones recipe and I have to agree!
What are Scones?
Scones are distinguished by their height and triangular shape. The texture is similar to that of a biscuit however scones contain eggs and biscuits do not. Scones are generally larger and sweeter than an American biscuit and can be filled with fruits, berries, or nuts. An egg-wash or sweet glaze is sometimes applied to the top before serving.
Ingredients
DAIRY We love this particular recipe because it has the richest ingredients like whole heavy cream and real butter. Oh and don’t forget the eggs! FRUIT Blueberry scones need to have…blueberries. But it’s also easy to switch out the blueberries for other berries, or even raisins or cranberries!
How to Make Blueberry Scones
Blueberry scones are easy to make. Like when making pie dough, you want to make sure the butter is chilled.
Tips For Great Scones
Keep butter chilled until ready to use. Lightly flour your hands before handling the dough but don’t add extra flour to the dough. Handle the dough with your hands as little as possible. Frozen berries work in this recipe but may discolor the dough. Do not thaw them first.
