Blueberry Scones Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 16 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, divided
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk eggs and 3/4 cup milk; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead in the blueberries.
  • Divide the dough in half. Pat each portion into an 8-in. circle; cut each into eight wedges. Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with remaining milk. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 16 scones.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

Absolutely delicious! Perfect texture, and the "editor's note" about not thawing the blueberries was so helpful. I always tweak recipes, and for this one I added a hint of almond extract, and sprinkled coarse sugar to top before baking. Very quick and easy, and sooo delicious!

This recipe was very tasty, and pretty easy to make, other than when it came to adding the blueberries...what a mess with fresh ones! Even though it didn't look very pretty (smooth/uniform), it was very tasty. I sprinkled powdered sugar on top to make it look better.

Very good. I made a lemon sauce to put on them that just made them perfect.

This is my 2nd time making this and it is a good recipe however it is a bit tricky getting the blueberries in. I add 2T of flax seeds and 2T of rolled oats to fortify it plus a 1/4t of almond extract and a cup of pecans for fun and crunch.

The recipe was easy and inexpensive. The scones were moist, the right amount of sweet, and looks impressive. I definitely will be using this recipe for now on and can't wait to share it with friends and family.

These are amazing!!! It was my first time making scones and I can't imagine the need to look for a different recipe in the future. I used fresh blueberries. The only thing I changed was that I used 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 6tbls. And I also sprinkled a little sugar on top. PERFECTION! The total time was right on target too. From the time I started pulling ingredients it was only half an hour before I was pulling them out of the oven and sinking my teeth in one. YUM. The kids love them too! Might make a lemon glaze to drizzle on top next time for an extra special treat.

This was a super easy recipe. Made this for first time. Used raw sugar on top of scones and they tasted great. The scones came out slightly moist and not dry like most scones. Shared his with coworkers and they all enjoyed them. Will make theses scones again but will add some type of glaze on top.
