BLUEBERRY SCONES

Blueberry Scones are moist and buttery with sweet and crumbly edges, packed with juicy blueberries and maple glaze in every single bite. This would be great for breakfast or brunch!

Scones are one of the easiest recipe that I have tried so far. You just have to get the base right and you can then modify it to make it sweet or savory. This summer, I actually prepared several scones recipes. Some of them were with fresh berries, and others were some combination of cinnamon, dry fruits (figs, plums, raisins, etc.) and nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc.) . My family just loved all these different varieties of scones.

How to make blueberry scones?

In a mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients - flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder, sugar and mix. To this, using a cheese grater, grate ice cold butter and then mix using a fork so that the grated butter is well distributed within the mixture.

Add lemon zest for additional flavor, blueberries and heavy cream and mix till the dough comes together.

Transfer dough onto a floured surface and shape them into a disc or a rectangle and then cut them into 8 triangles each about 2 inches thick.

Transfer these to a parchment paper and brush the top with heavy cream and sprinkle some coarse sugar. Bake this in a preheated oven till its golden brown.

Once cooled, you may drizzle the scones with vanilla or maple glaze. I love to have them with a cup of my black coffee.

Is this not easy and simple. Why wait? Make the best use of berries when they are in season!
