The best blueberry scones:
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 stick cold butter, cubed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Extra sugar for topping
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients of flour, sugar, salt and baking powder, whisking together.
3. Add in the small cubes of butter and blend with the flour mixture using a fork or pastry cutter. You want to the butter to be crumbled in and pea size.
4. Next add the vanilla and egg, mixing together again. The dough will still be very crumbly.
5. Then pour in the heavy cream and yogurt, continuing to mix with a fork until a loose dough forms. It will still be slightly dry and crumbly.
6. Add in the frozen blueberries and gently mix in, trying not to burst too many blueberries.
7. Place the scone dough onto a clean surface or silicone mat. Do not try to knead or roll out the dough. Simply form the dough into a round shape and flatten slightly.
8. With a sharp knife, cut into 6 triangular pieces to create the scone shape.
9. Place triangles on the prepared baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with white sugar.
10. Bake scones for 15 minutes or until slightly browned around the edges of the scone.
11. Remove the baked scones from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes.
12. Make the lemon glaze by adding the lemon juice and milk to the powdered sugar in a medium bowl.
13. Whisk the glaze ingredients together until smooth.
14. Once the scones have cooled, generously drizzle the glaze onto the top of the scones.
15. Enjoy or let the glaze harden and store for later.
While this Starbucks copycat recipe is pretty perfect, it can also be made with a variety of different ingredients.
Substitutions:
- Fresh blueberries can be used instead of frozen.
- Try using different fresh fruit!
- Greek yogurt may be used instead of vanilla.
- Add lemon zest to create lemon blueberry scones
Notes:
- Store in an airtight container or a freezer bag for up to 5 days.
- These are great made ahead and frozen for later.
When I was first testing out these scones they were missing something. My taste testers and I quickly agreed that it was lemon juice! The tartness of the lemon is the perfect balance for the sweetness of the blueberries.
Now you can have your own Starbucks blueberry scone at home! They are the perfect make-ahead breakfast or afternoon snack.
I am just so pleased with the flavour profile! When you make them, please let me know, I would love to know what you think.
