    These scones have a nice crunchy exterior and a light and fluffy inside! Pour a cup of tea, get out some marmalade, and make yourself some scones.

    Scones are one of my favorite things to bring to a Brunch or Breakfast Buffet. My family loves scones and I love making different varieties! My glazed cranberry orange scones are a stable in the house.

    Blueberry scones are another long-time favorite! I love it when the family comes and and takes in a big whiff and they say, "SCONES????" They love every scone recipe!

    Fresh blueberries are a great fruit to use in scones. They are hearty and hold up well when baked. You can also use either frozen or dried but fresh blueberries are my favorite!

    Can blueberry scones be frozen?

    Yes. Once baked, place the scones on a baking sheet in the freezer. Let them set about an hour, then they can be placed in a freezer storage bag until ready to use.

    How do you reheat blueberry scones?

    Reheat the scones in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. Wrap the scones in aluminum foil for reheating.

    What is the best way to defrost scones?

    Place the frozen scones in the fridge to defrost. Reheat for about 5 minutes.

    How Do You Make Blueberry Scones?

    2. Butter the scone pan and sprinkle pan with flour.
    3. Mix dry ingredients into a bowl.
    4. Cut unsalted butter into the dry ingredients.

    8. Once blended, transfer to a floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times.
    9. Cut into triangles and place in the scone pan.
    10. Bake for about 14 to 17 minutes. Test center of scone by pricking with a toothpick.
    11. Toothpick should be clean. Remove pan from oven let cool. Serve

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season the scone maker with butter. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

    • Whisk eggs into buttermilk. Stir the mixture into the flour/butter combo till combined.

    • Brush tops of the scone with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for about 14 to 17 minutes.
      Test tops by using a toothpick into center of scone. Toothpick should come out clean. Remove from oven.

    NOTES

    Note 1: Fresh blueberries are my favorite. Frozen blueberries or dried blueberries can be used.
    Note 2: I have used clean hands to blend in the butter into the flour.
