Blueberry Scones

Today we woke up to gorgeous sunshine, and I planned on taking Miss O to play outside somewhere.

Before we were ready to leave the house, it clouded over, got super windy, and I decided we would stay home and bake blueberry scones instead.

This blueberry scones recipe couldn’t be easier.

It’s easier than all my other scones recipes (and they are all easy scones too!) because you don’t need a stick of butter or pastry blender.

There’s a simple hack to make flaky scones without the need of a box grater to painstakingly grate frozen butter into your scone dough.

This blueberry scone recipe is MUCH easier, folks!

Let’s get to it…

Ingredients for Blueberry Scones

These blueberry scones go well with afternoon tea, and are tasty enough and special enough for Mother’s Day. She’ll never know they were so easy to make!

You only need 5 ingredients for these homemade scones:

• Self-rising flour
• Sugar
• Whipping cream
• Blueberries
• Vanilla

For the vanilla, use the good stuff, the real vanilla extract, there is no comparison with artificial vanilla!

How to Make the Best Blueberry Scones

This blueberry scones recipe is SO incredibly easy.

Mix the self-rising flour, sugar, and blueberries together in a medium bowl.  

If you don’t have self-rising flour, use 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 salt, and 1/2 tablespoon baking powder in a small bowl.

Pour the whipping cream into a measuring cup, add a splash of vanilla, and pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Stir (gently – you don’t want to crush all those juicy blueberries!), drop the blueberry scone batter onto baking sheets, and bake until golden brown.

The prep work for this scones recipe takes about 5 minutes, and baking time is 10-12 minutes, so you could even make these berry scones on a weekday morning.

They are one of my absolute favorite breakfast recipes!

Tips for Making the Best Scones

Use a prepared baking sheet – one that has either been sprayed with non-stick spray, or use parchment paper.

If you are lucky enough to get your hands on wild blueberries – use those.

If you only have frozen blueberries, thaw the frozen berries and strain the extra juice.

Don’t add the blueberry juice to your batter or there will be too much liquid and the scones won’t bake properly.

These scones are best the day they are made, but will keep in an airtight container for a couple days.

To refreshen them if it’s been a few days, I like to pop them in the microwave to warm them up for a few seconds.

You can freeze these scones in a freezer ziplock bag. Thaw the frozen scones at room temperature.

Lemon Blueberry Scones Variation:

Lemon and blueberries go so well together.

For a lemon blueberry scones recipe, use the main recipe but add the lemon zest of half a lemon to the batter.

When the scones are baked and out of the oven, make a simple lemon glaze.

Combine 1 cup of icing sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Drizzle or spread on tops of the scones.
