Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • Make sure to use fresh or frozen blueberries for the best results.
  • If you don't have cream or yogurt, you can substitute with milk.

  • Instead of butter, use coconut oil. This substitution will add a subtle coconut flavor and give a healthier alternative to the butter.
  • Instead of yogurt, use almond milk. This substitution will make the scones dairy-free and provide a nutty flavor.

Lemon Poppyseed Scones Replace the blueberries with 1/2 cup of lemon zest and 1/4 cup of poppyseeds. Replace the cinnamon in the ingredients and topping with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Replace the vanilla extract with 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract.



Honey Lemon Greek Yogurt: This creamy and tangy yogurt dish is a great accompaniment to the sweet and fragrant blueberry scones. The combination of the tart Greek yogurt and the sweetness of the honey and lemon creates a perfect balance that complements the scones perfectly.


Coconut Whipped Cream: This light and fluffy coconut whipped cream is the perfect topping for the blueberry scones. The rich coconut flavor pairs perfectly with the sweet and fragrant blueberries, and the creamy texture adds a delightful contrast to the crunchy scones. Plus, it's dairy-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.




FAQ

Q: How do I know when the scones are done?

A: The scones are done when they are golden brown and the center is cooked through. To check this, insert a toothpick into the center of the scone. If it comes out clean, the scones are done.



Q: What is the best way to store scones?

A: Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap scones in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.

Great choice for my husband and I with our coffee. They are delicious and so moist, not like I have known scones to be (dry). I used frozen blueberries and just dipped them in flour before adding to the mixture. We loved em!

These are wonderful scones! They go together quickly and are very easy to make. We really enjoyed them with our morning coffee. I baked them an additional 5 minutes to be sure that the centers were done. I served them with homemade lemon curd...delicious! **Made for Culinary Quest - Suitcase Gourmets**

Fun facts:

Fun Fact 1: The scone is an ancient food, first mentioned in the 10th century by the English scholar Aelfric of Eynsham. It was originally made without butter or cream, and was a much harder biscuit-like product.

Fun Fact 2: Starbucks is credited with popularizing the scone in the United States, as they began serving them in their stores in the late 1990s. They served them in a variety of flavors, including blueberry, which is the flavor of this recipe.
