Tips for making this Blueberry Scone Recipe

Getting the texture and moisture right in a baked scone can be tricky, but we’ll show you how to do it, no problem!

There are a few tricks to the trade that will make all the difference:

How to make this Blueberry Scone Recipe

First, add to a large bowl 2 cups flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 Tbsp baking powder.

Whisk it together until it all looks the same.

Next, add in the grated butter.

Third, use a pastry blender (also called a pastry cutter) or a fork or your hands to cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Fourth, in a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/2 cup buttermilk or heavy cream, and 2 tsp vanilla extract.

Fifth, add the liquid ingredients and 1 cup blueberries to the dry ingredients. Stir until moistened and well-combined. When the batter holds together, it’s good! Don’t over-do the mixing.

Sixth, sprinkle a bit of flour onto the counter and press the dough into a circle about 8″ in diameter. It should be about 3/4″ thick. If using coarse sugar as a topping, brush the top with heavy cream or buttermilk then sprinkle on the sugar. Cut the circle pizza-style into 8 wedges.

Next, divide the dough wedges and place them onto a prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave enough space for the blueberry scones to expand while cooking. Parchment paper is best beneath the scones, but a well-greased pan will also do.

Preheat your oven, setting it to 400 degrees F, and place the blueberry scones into the refrigerator to cool for 15-30 minutes. After that, bake them for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow them to cool a bit, then top with powdered sugar glaze, if desired.

How to make a scone glaze

Carefully dipping the scone into the glaze can also have a good result. Try dipping just the top or even just one half. Give the glaze a few minutes to harden after drizzling before serving.

Enjoy! Serve them warm or at room temperature.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
