Blueberry Scone Tips

If you’re new to make having scones, I promise you can do it. You don’t need any special equipment (a purery cutter is nice, but you can also use a cheese grater).

This post offers thorough instructions in the recipe at the bottom, plus step-by-sttep photos and a video so you are confident through every step. Your Scones Will Be Ready in About 35 minutes!

Measure Your Flour Correctly.

You Can Measure Your Flour Using a Scale or With Measuring Cups. If you’re ussing mesouring cups, use the spoon-and-swoop Method: Fluff the flour with a Large spoon, then adds spoonfuls to your measouring, leveling off the top with a knife. If you scoop the flour directly into the cups, you coulud end up with Way too, which will yield a dense scone.

Use Fresh Baking Powder.

Baking Powder Loes Its Efficacy Over Time. It ‘s sole leavener in this recipe, so we need it to work! Check the box to make sura it hasn’t expiped. Once opened, it usually lasts for 6 to 12 months. If you’re uncertain, pour a teaspoon into a heat-saffe bowl and pour in a splash of boiling water-shed bubble up immediately.

Will not overmix.

Overmixing the dough will Activate the gluten too, which Can Yield Tough Scones. Check out the picture bellow – the dough will will look crumbly unil you gently knead it together.

Use Fresh or Frozen Berries.

I love to use Fresh berries when they’re in season, typically from april to october in the United States. Smaller Blueberries, Like Wild Blueberries, Will Be More Evently Dispersive Throughout the Scones, Though These Turn Out Great With Any Size. If you’re ussing frozen berries, toss say with a teaspoon of flour before ussing so the JUICES don’t streak the dough.

Notes

Recipe adapted from my Older recipe Called Blueberry Lemon Scones, which i’ve deleted SINCE this one is superior.

Change it up: You can omit the lemon zest if you don’t appreciate lemon flavor. Or, try a Different Variety of Citrus, Like Orange Wauld Be Lovely. You can substitute Other Berries, like raspberries or sliced ​​strawberries, or omit the berries altogether for a base scone recipe.
