Blueberry Scones
These blueberry scones are so easy to make. Start by mixing a quick dough, very similar to biscuit dough. You will cut the cold butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter. Then create a well in the flour mixture and add the wet ingredients. Once the dough is prepared, turn it out onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Gently pat into a 9 inch round, then use a sharp knife to cut scones into wedges. Do not separate.
Brush with heavy cream and sugar and bake until golden brown.
These blueberry scones bake up so golden brown and delicious!
Once completely cool, store tightly covered at room temperature.
