What Are Scones?

Scones are classic baked goods that originate from the United Kingdom. They are slightly sweet, buttery, and have a tender texture. Perfect for pairing with tea or coffee, scones can be made with various mix-ins, such as fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.

What You’ll Need

For the Blueberry Scones:

All-purpose flour
Granulated sugar
Baking powder
Salt
Frozen grated butter
Fresh or frozen blueberries
Heavy cream
Vanilla extract
Egg

For the Vanilla Glaze:

Powdered sugar
Milk
Vanilla extract

Why Use Frozen Grated Butter?

Frozen grated butter is a game-changer for scone recipes! The small, cold pieces of butter create pockets of steam as they bake, resulting in a flaky, tender texture. This method also ensures the butter is evenly distributed throughout the dough.

How to Make Blueberry Scones

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
Add the frozen grated butter to the flour mixture and toss until coated.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, shape it into a disk, and cut it into wedges.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the scones to cool before drizzling with vanilla glaze.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Scones

Keep your ingredients cold to ensure a flaky texture.
Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough scones.
Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, don’t thaw them to avoid excess moisture.

How to Store Scones

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Refrigerator: Keep in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
