Ingredients

All Purpose Flour: My favorite is Cairnspring Mills, which is a fresh milled flour company.
Baking Powder: You need baking powder, not soda for these scones to have the right texture.
Cinnamon: I use organic Korintje cinnamon, which is my favorite variety and has a distinct flavor. Check out my post the Best Cinnamon to Bake With for more info on different varieties.
Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, either work!
Heavy Whipping Cream: I use Organic Valley Heavy Whipping Cream to brush the scones with before baking. This makes the golden brown top that everyone loves.
Turbinado Sugar: I top these organic scones with turbinado sugar, which is big sugar crystals. This creates a subtle crunch and really nice texture.

Baker's Tips

Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
Keep butter cold, this is key for flaky scones.
I like to use a big box grater to grate the butter as it's quick, easy, and I think it makes incredibly tender scones. If you don't have a box grater, you can cut into small cubes.
Don't be afraid to bake scones a few minutes longer, just ensure they are golden brown to your liking.
Store scones in a cool, dry place. I like to leave out on the counter. Putting them under a cake dome or in an airtight container can make them soggy.
You can warm up leftover scones in your toaster oven or air fryer on warm.
Gluten Free – Replace the all purpose flour with 310 grams (2 cups) gluten free flour blend.
High Altitude – Bake at 400°F for 20 to 24 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the bottoms.

Recipe FAQ's

Can you make scones with frozen blueberries?

Yes, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries for these scones! That makes them really easy to make anytime, as I always have frozen blueberries!

Can I use another kind of berry?

Yes, you can use strawberries, raspberries or blackberries in place of blueberries if you prefer.

How to make gluten free blueberry scones?

I provide a simple substitution for gluten free flour. Make sure to check the Notes at the bottom of the recipe for the type of flour and the amount to swap out!

How should I store blueberry scones?

Blueberry scones should be stored in a cool dry place. I usually just leave mine out on a plate on the counter for a couple days. They are really best when eaten right away. But you can warm them up in the air fryer easily. Cut it open and add a slab of butter and they taste delicious!
