If you’ve never had scones before, you don’t know what you are missing. These Blueberry Scones are great with your morning coffee or tea, but if you are like me, you will eat them any time of the day.
These homemade Scones are better than any scone you can buy in my opinion. They are pretty easy to make if you like working with dough. And if you love scones just like I do, you MUST try my Lemon Poppy Seed Scones.

Ever wonder where Scones come from? I was curious so I looked it up and this article answered my questions.
Recipe Tips
- When kneading the dough try as much as possible to not “squash” the blueberries
- If you don’t have any fresh blueberries on hand you can use frozen blueberries just don’t thaw them out beforehand. Nobody wants mushy berries
The hardest part of making these delicious scones will be cutting in the butter. Make sure your butter is very cold and cut it into the flour with a pastry cutter or knife. Avoid using your hands as the heat from your hands will melt the butter.
