Blueberry Scones

This is my favorite recipe for homemade Blueberry Scones! Bursting with juicy blueberries, buttery with perfect golden crispy edges, and soft, flaky centers, these scones are drizzled with a generous amount of vanilla icing for the perfect bite. So much better than the bakery and so easy to make.

Start with the dry ingredients. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make sure the butter is cold, then grate it on a box grater into the bowl with the flour mixture. Cut in the butter until the size of peas. Transfer to the refrigerator as you combine the wet ingredients. Whisk together the heavy cream, an egg, and vanilla extract and pour over the flour mixture. Fold in the blueberries. Gently mix until the mixture is mostly moistened. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and work it gently into a ball. Press the dough into an 8-inch disc. Cut it into 8 wedges. Then transfer the scones to a large baking sheet and bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. As the scones cool, make a vanilla icing by combining confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle the icing over the scones. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!

To make the Blueberry Scones, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Blueberry Scones

1	Mix dry ingredients	2
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, ½ cup sugar, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
2	Grate butter	2
Using a box grater, grate ½ cup frozen butter into the flour mixture.
3	Cut butter into flour mixture	1
Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or a knife cut the butter into the flour mixture until the size of peas. Transfer to the refrigerator or freezer as you combine the wet ingredients.
4	Combine wet ingredients	1
In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract.
5	Combine wet and dry ingredients	2
Drizzle the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and add 1 heaping cup blueberries. Gently mix together until everything is moistened.
6	Shape dough	2
Pour the dough onto a lightly floured surface and, with floured hands, work the dough into a ball as best you can. The dough can be sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add 1-2 more tablespoons heavy cream. Press the dough into an 8-inch disc.
7	Cut into scones	1
Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
8	Freeze briefly	15
Brush the scones with the remaining heavy cream and sprinkle with a little coarse sugar. Place the scones on a floured plate or small parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
9	Heat oven and line a baking sheet	5
Preheat the oven to 375 °F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
10	Bake	20
Arrange the scones 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
11	Make vanilla icing	2
Whisk together 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add another tablespoon of milk or heavy cream to thin the icing out if necessary. For thicker icing, add a little more confectioners’ sugar. Taste and add a pinch of salt if you wish.
12	Top with icing	2
Top the scones with the prepared vanilla icing.
13	Serve
Serve and enjoy!
