Blueberry Scones

These blueberry scones are tender, buttery, and filled with juicy bursts of fresh blueberries in every bite. Lightly crisp at the edges and soft in the center, they’re balanced with just enough sweetness and a hint of lemon to brighten the flavor. Finished with a simple vanilla glaze, they feel special without being complicated.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 6 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup butter VERY cold, cubed
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk or cream1½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 1½ cups blueberries fresh

Optional Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or cream½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in butter. Add the very cold cubed butter and work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs with small pieces of butter still visible.
  • Add wet ingredients. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract. Pour in the milk or cream and mix gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in blueberries. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  • Shape. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a round disk and cut into wedges, or shape into rustic rounds.
  • Bake. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges and set in the center.
  • Glaze (optional). Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze before serving.
  • Enjoy. Tender, buttery, and filled with juicy blueberries, these blueberry scones are best enjoyed slightly warm.
