I love scones, so I set out to come up with a great scone recipe. Some were too fluffy, some were too dense, some didn’t have enough flavor. I could go on and on about my trials, but I think I have it figured out. I made these and they were wonderful! My family ate the entire batch (even though I thought I made enough to save a few for the next day)! These scones take really no time at all and use ingredients you probably already have around the house anyway. I have a few more varieties that I made for my Ladies Brunch that I will share in the coming weeks.
Blueberry Scones
2 cups AP flour (plus more for kneading)
1/3 cups sugar
1 tbl baking powder
5 tbls cold butter, cut into to small cubes
1/2-3/4 cup half and half (whole milk or heavy cream work well too)
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
turbinado sugar, opt
Preheat oven to 400. Prepare a baking sheet with non-stick cookie sheet. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Stir in half and half. Gently fold in blueberries.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough 5 or 6 times. Roll dough into a 1/2-inch thick circle.** Cut into eight triangles (I use my pizza cutter). Place dough triangles on prepared pan. Brush tops with a little half and half and sprinkle with turbinado sugar (or granulated sugar).
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
**Or divide dough in half and make two smaller circles. Cut into 8 triangles each. This makes a nice size for taking to a brunch potluck or if you are having a lot of other food.
I love a great scone too from time to time. I can tell by your photo, yours look wonderful!
These look amazing! I’m going to have to try making scones someday!

Scones can be great and yours look fantastic. I’d try my hand at them in the morning if I had whole milk in the house.
Looking forward to more scone recipes, too.

Great recipe, I have blueberries in the freezer and this would be perfect for them.
I love scones. This recipe seems easy for me to follow. I know that I would save big money by not buying from Starbucks. Thanks for sharing.
