Description

Tender and flaky buttermilk blueberry scones packed with juicy blueberries and a hint of lemon zest. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into an 8-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.
  8. Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  10. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture.
  • For extra richness, serve with clotted cream or lemon curd.
  • Scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
