What Is A Scone?

Actually, there was a restaurant in my old hometown that claimed to have “the worlds best scones”.  I grew up pretty familiar with what a quality scone is supposed to taste like.  So, what is a scone?  It is, in many ways, similar to a biscuit.  The only difference is that scones are usually made with eggs and biscuits aren’t.  But, true for both of these, the pastry itself isn’t too sweet.

This is my favorite part about scones.  They get their sweetness from the toppings or fillings in them, not from the pastry itself.  It is a perfect option if you are looking for a dessert that isn’t too sweet, decadent or overbearing.  Comfort food doesn’t always have to be heavy or rich.  It just has to be comforting!  So we thought that BubbaPie would be a great place to present an Easy Blueberry Scone Recipe.

Blueberry Scone Recipe

Learning how to make Blueberry Scones is super easy.  Just make sure you line the baking sheet for parchment paper and you use a pastry cutter to make sure the scones don’t stick and are the shape you want. They will come out looking as bright and fresh as a morning in late-May!

BLUEBERRY SCONE INGREDIENTS:

1. 2 cups all purpose flour
2. 1 tbsp baking powder
3. Pinch of salt
4. 2 tbsp granulated sugar
5. 5 tbsp cold butter, cut in pieces
6. 1 cup blueberries (fresh, preferably)
7. 1 cup heavy cream (35% fat or more)

BLUEBERRY SCONE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, pinch of salt and sugar.
• Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into dry ingredients until crumbs start to form.
• Fold in fresh blueberries.
• Form a well in the middle of the ingredients and pour in heavy cream, ½ cup at a time. Mix until a dough forms, being careful to not pop any of the blueberries.
• Pat dough onto a baking sheet, forming it into a flat circle about 8 inches in diameter.
• Cut to create 8 triangular shapes. Separate triangles from each other and re-place gently on lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy

In just about 30 minutes, you can have some fresh blueberry scones to bring up to mom on Mother’s Day to get her special day started off with a bang!  Or, maybe I will surprise my kids with these.  They like to watch cartoons upstairs on Saturday mornings, maybe I’ll have these waiting for them when their tummies finally tell them to come downstairs for breakfast.  These blueberry scones will be a sure thing to make any normal morning just a little more special.  Enjoy!
