Amazing Blueberry Scones

These amazing blueberry scones are so decadent and delicious. They will make you think you are eating in a coffee house that has a full time pastry chef in the back whipping up these beauties! In reality, they come together really quickly and are super easy, even for the most novice of cooks! I say scones are the best way to let out your inner pastry chef! I have been creating different variations of scones this past year and they never disappoint!

My daughter who isn’t a blueberry baked goods fan tried a bite of these and exclaimed “these are REALLY good mom!” so to me that means mission accomplished because I got a non-blub believer to believe! Woohoo!

How to make:

2 cups Flour

1/4 cup Sugar

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt to a mixing bowl and mix.

Next add 6 Tablespoons Cold Butter (I use salted butter in this recipe) cut into little chunks.

Next add 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest.

Add 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen, thawed) mix into the flour mixture so the blueberries get coated in flour.

2 Eggs

1/3 cup Milk

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Mix ingredients gently with a rubber spatula or hand to avoid smashing the blueberries too much. Once mixed, plop (thats the official word for this) the dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and roughly form into a circle.

You can either slice into 8 wedges and bake separately or bake as one large circle and cut after, either way works fine. Bake 14-15 minutes or until golden. Some of the butter will come out of the dough and that is ok. It will help give the scones a buttery crisp on the outside edges which makes them even more yum worthy.

Glaze with The vanilla glaze for a little extra yumminess or you can stay traditional and sprinkle the dough with course sugar pre baking or post baking.

For the Glaze:

2 tablespoons butter

1 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 Tablespoons Milk

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Blend together the glaze ingredients then pour over scones after they come out of the oven.
