I love scones. Especially blueberry scones. There’s just something about them that makes a person feel more grown-up and sophisticated and let’s face it, they taste amazing. There’s nothing better than a scone with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning to get your day started.
I’ve used the same recipe for years now. I think I originally found it on epicurious.com, here. However, I’ve made quite a few changes to the recipe including less butter and a few tweaks to the recipe itself. This is a great recipe to impress guests coming over or even one to make now while guests are still visiting!
Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas!
BLUEBERRY SCONES RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
3 c flour (I have used my fresh ground wheat but the scones tend to dry out after one day. I now use regular)
1/3 c sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt (if using non-salted butter)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 stick of butter, frozen
1 c chilled buttermilk (I make my own by adding 2 T vinegar to 1 c milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes)
1 c blueberries
DIRECTIONS
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt (if using), and baking soda into a bowl. Cut in butter and use fingers to mix butter throughout (my dough resembles coarse meal at this point). Add buttermilk slowly and blend well. Add blueberries, trying not to overmix. You will notice that my dough is very blue. This is because I mixed the blueberries in before adding the milk (grr!). If you do not want this blue tinge in your dough, make sure you add the milk before you add your berries and that you do not smash the blueberries while mixing.
Turn the dough out on to your floured counter. Form it into a thick round, about 6 inches in diameter. Slice into 8-16 wedges and place on a greased baking sheet. If your dough is slightly stick like mine was, place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Bake at 400F for 25 minutes.
*You can sprinkle the slices with raw sugar before placing them in the oven for a crystallized look.
I love being inspired by sandwich shops and restaurants. It’s always a fun mental game to play when we go out. I order something, try it and if I like it, try to figure out how I can replicate it at home. Sometimes it’s next to impossible (re: Panera’s Fuji Chicken Salad) and other times…
I am not much of a decorator. In fact, I have very few decorations laying around come Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s not that I don’t like the holidays – I love getting together with family, eating good food, celebrating the meanings of each, and of course, drinking A LOT of hot chocolate! I’m just…
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council. I received a stipend to facilitate my purchase for my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. My blueberry obsession is out of control. I know I have already mentioned my love…
Celebrating today with a sporty glam look in a Banana Republic dress and these Lucky Brand sneakers. I cannot believe just how much I wore these shoes in Italy and just how comfortable they were. They did scuff and get dirty a few times (you know, Roman streets and all…) but I just wiped them down with a…
In celebration of National Medjool Date Day… It’s no secret that I’ve got a sweet tooth. And sometimes that sweet tooth involves desserts that the hubs isn’t a fan of (i.e. anything involving peanut butter). Most of the time, I end up not making those types of desserts because I don’t want to get stuck…
I’ve been on a crepe kick lately. After making these delicious banana crepes twice in a week, I decided to change it up a bit and make savory crepes. I’ve tasted savory crepes only a handful of times. My favorite savory crepe experience was in Asheville NC. I don’t even remember what type of crepe I tried…
