Why you’ll love this recipe

  • Simple enough for beginner bakers – These easy blueberry scones are great for novice bakers. The dough is simple to make, meaning all that’s left to do is cut it into scone shapes and then bake.
  • Buttery and sweet with the perfect texture – Crisp and crumbly on the outside and soft, tender, and flaky on the inside, these scones combine so many tasty flavors and textures. They’re the perfect balance of sweet and buttery, plus feature bursts of tart blueberries.
  • Complete control over the ingredients – While I love grabbing a blueberry scone at a cafe when I’m out and about, the truth is you never really know what’s in them. Bakery scones can sometimes be dry or have artificial flavors. When you make them yourself, they’re guaranteed to be fresh!
  • Great for meal prep – Blueberry scones with buttermilk are perfect for weekend baking when you have more time than on busy weekdays. You can serve them for brunch, then wrap up the leftovers for breakfast or snack during the week.

Tools you’ll need

You don’t need to run out to the store to pick up any special equipment to make my blueberry scone recipe — just the standard tools that most at-home bakers already have on hand.

  • A baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat for faster cleanup. This is a recipe for easy blueberry scones, so you want to make cleaning up easy too!
  • Measuring cups, spoons and mixing bowls to measure out and mix the ingredients.
  • A spatula or wooden spoon for stirring and incorporating the ingredients.
  • A quality knife to cut the dough into scones.
  • A pastry brush to apply the egg wash.

Ingredients and substitutions

As always, you’ll find the complete list of ingredients and quantities in the recipe card at the end of this post. Below are some notes and substitution tips:

  1. All-purpose Flour – The base of your scone dough. All-purpose flour works great here — no need to use any sort of special cake flour. You can always replace it with your preferred GF 1:1 option if you need to.
  1. Sugar – You’ll use granulated sugar in the scone dough, as well as some turbinado sugar on top of the scones before baking. You can substitute white sanding sugar for turbinado for even more sparkle and crunch.
  1. Baking Soda & Baking Powder – These are our leavening agents, meaning they both help these blueberry buttermilk scones rise. The combination of both gives the scones a good lift and baking soda also promotes browning.
  1. Unsalted Butter – Cold, unsalted butter is key to getting the signature flaky texture of scones. When cubed and then incorporated into the dough, very much like pie dough, the butter will create air pockets as they melt during baking, leaving you with those tasty flaky layers. Salted butter can be used instead but you’ll want to reduce the amount of salt called for in the recipe by half.
  1. Blueberries – Add bursts of sweet and tart flavor and color to your scones! I recommend using fresh blueberries for the best results. Frozen blueberries can be use if you’re making these out of season, check the FAQs section below for more tips on using frozen berries.
  1. Egg – Helps bind the ingredients together — plus the yolk adds richness.
  1. Buttermilk – boasts a subtle tangy flavor too, and contributes to a moist and tender crumb. It helps these easy blueberry scones rise in combination with baking soda thanks to the added acidity. Sour cream or yogurt is a good substitution here.
  1. Vanilla – Enhances the other flavors in your buttermilk blueberry scones and adds a touch of warmth.
  1. Salt – I use kosher salt in this recipe, if you’re using salted butter as mentioned above, reduce the amount of salt by half.

How to make blueberry scone recipe

The following instructions, step-by-step photos, and tips are here to help you visualize how to make the recipe. You can always skip straight to the printable recipe card at the end of this post.

This blueberry scone recipe is an adaptation of my basic buttermilk scones with fresh blueberries added to the batter. Hence, you will start out exactly the same, by mixing together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and working the cold butter into the mixture. The one difference is you will toss in the fresh blueberries right before adding the wet ingredients.

Dry ingredients and blueberries inside a mixing bowl.

In a smaller mixing bowl or a measuring cup, beat together egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Reserve 2 tablespoons to use as egg wash and add the remaining to the dry ingredient mixture. Fold until a shaggy dough forms.

Wet ingredients are added to the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients to make blueberry scone dough.

Tip: It’s crucial to be gentle in this step so you don’t crush the berries and stain the dough.

Turn the dough out onto the counter, pat it into a rectangle and fold it over itself a few times like folding a letter. Then shape into a circle or a square. Cut into 8 scones. Place the scones on a lined baking sheet, freeze or refrigerate while the oven preheats.

Tip: If you’re using frozen blueberries, it is best to shape the dough into a circle as soon as you turn it out of the bowl since the frozen berries thawing will make the dough difficult to work with very quickly.

When the oven is ready, brush the top and sides of the scones with the reserved egg wash, sprinkle generously with turbinado or sanding sugar. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

More baker’s tips

  • Keep things cold – just like with pie dough, you want to keep these easy blueberry scones cold before baking so they hold their shape and rise taller.
  • Don’t forget that egg wash – make sure to reserve some of the egg/buttermilk mixture to use as egg wash on top of the scones to enhance browning while baking.
  • Insulate the bottom – if needed, use an insulated baking sheet or stack baking sheets to keep the bottoms of these blueberry scones from getting too brown.
  • Variations – try this blueberry scones recipe with other berries and fruits for more fun fruity variations.

Storage

If you plan on eating your buttermilk blueberry scones within a few days, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll keep for 1-3 days tops since they contain fresh fruits. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to 5 days.

My blueberry scone recipe also freezes really nicely. To freeze after baking, let them cool completely before placing on a baking sheet and flash freeze until solid. Then store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the dough — wrap tightly in plastic and aluminum foil before storing. Let the dough thaw overnight in the fridge before baking as instructed here.

To reheat from frozen, make sure to let the scones thaw overnight. Pop them in the oven at 350 degrees F and heat for 5-10 minutes or until warmed through.

FAQs

Why is my scone dough so sticky?

A slightly sticky dough is perfectly fine. But if it feels excessively sticky and difficult to handle, simply add a tablespoon of flour at a time until you get the consistency you want.

Don’t forget that when you’re shaping the dough on the counter top, you’ll be using extra flour too and that will also get absorbed into the dough. So be careful not to add too much because the more flour you add, the drier you scones will turn out in the end.

What can I use if I don’t have buttermilk?

You can easily make your own buttermilk by combining regular milk with something acidic, like vinegar or lemon juice. Add 1 tablespoon of your acidic ingredient to enough whole milk to make one cup.

For this blueberry scone recipe, you can also use sour cream or yogurt if you don’t have buttermilk. Or stir together half sour cream or yogurt and half whole milk.

Why won’t my blueberry scones rise?

Make sure you use fresh baking powder! If it’s expired, it won’t help your dough rise. You also want to avoid overworking the dough too much. When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, use a gentle folding motion until just combined. Overworked dough will contain too much gluten, giving you dense results.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

It is okay to use frozen berries for these blueberry buttermilk scones, but make sure you add them into the dough while they’re completely frozen, do not thaw. And work as quickly as you can, since they will start releasing water as they thaw. Two things to keep in mind as this happens.

One, the berries will stain the dough as soon as you add them in. Not a big deal since they will be eaten all the same, but aesthetically, they may not look as pretty.

Two, the juice released while they thaw will make the dough stickier and messier. They will also release a lot more water during baking, which will alter the texture of the scones. You will probably need to use a bit more extra flour as you shape the scones and bake them a little longer for them to cook through.

    Simply delicious and bursting with blueberries! Easy too! I stacked the baking sheets per the recipe and it did make a difference. My husband loves the scones as well; he commented that they were not crumbly dry. Trang’s scone is crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside and not overly sweet. I used 1 1/2 cups blueberries and did not have buttermilk so substitued with greek yogurt- milk combo. A must repeat! Thank you!

    I may have missed the answer to my question already so please forgive me if you have to repeat. If were to use no-fat Greek yogurt in the recipe, what should I substitute it for (buttermilk?) and how much should I use in the recipe? (I haven’t tried to make the scones but will soon do so.)

      Hi Jim, no problem at all! Yes, you can use Greek yogurt in place of buttermilk, and you can use the same amount I specified for the buttermilk which is 2/3 cup. Let me know if you have any other questions.

      Absolutely the best scones I have ever made! I never have buttermilk around because I don’t care for the smell but I had some after I buttermilk brine some chicken for frying. So maybe there really is something to the magic of using buttermilk to make an absolutely tender product. Thanks so much for making this recipe available.

    Have tried a bunch, but this is my go-to blueberry scone recipe! I can’t believe I haven’t posted a review yet…and I am eating one right now, warm out of the oven 🙂 They are just perfectly delicious – lightly sweet with crunchy edges, fluffy inside. I use salted butter since that’s what I typically have on hand. Thanks!

    I made these today and will definitely make them again. My modifications were to increase the sugar to 1/2 cup and omit the vanilla. I probably used close 1 1/2 cups of blueberries. They were moist and had more of a muffin texture than that of a scone or soda bread, which I enjoyed. My husband is not a scone fan and loved these.Delicious!!!

    I have tried many scone recipes and this one is my absolute favorite. I practically have the recipe memorized I have made it so many times. These are light and delicious without being too sweet, so they are perfect for breakfast with scrambled eggs or just a cup of coffee or tea. The recipe is foolproof, although I do notice slight differences when I use different butter or eggs. They are good leftover, but better if you crisp them up in the oven for a few minutes.

    I made this recipe with gluten-free (Bob’s red mill 1:1) and I needed to add quite a bit more buttermilk to get the dough to hold together. Texture is a bit cakier than typical scones, but not unusual for GF baked goods. I like that they aren’t super sweet. I might add a bit of cinnamon next time, but there will be a next time!

      For some reason my dough is too wet and I add additional flour. I’ve made them twice and have the same problem. I’ve even tried adding the blueberries at the very end just before dividing. I do like the eventual outcome, they are tasty and not overly sweet.

        Hi Ann, the way you measure the flour may affect the actual amount but this scone dough is definitely not dry. Though it shouldn’t be so wet that you can’t work with it. I do like it on the wetter side so baked scones are on the softer side. I’m glad you still enjoy it though! Thank you for trying it. Maybe just note down on the recipe for yourself how much additional flour you use to get the perfect dough when you make it.

      Excellent! I love the subtle sweet and that these aren’t crumbling into a powdery mess when biting into them. I was a little unsure with 1 tbsp of baking powder but they baked up very well. Thank you for this recipe!

    They come out perfectly every time. I now mostly lean to blueberry ones. Thanks. BTW what happened to the blue hair?

      Hi Bob, I had to tone it down with the blue hair since I work a fulltime job in a fairly conservative industry. My boss is totally cool with the blue hair but for my recent project, I had to attend a lot of meetings with a local clients so it was best to keep the color more neutral haha. 🙂 Glad to hear you love these blueberry scones. If you ever want to change up the flavor a bit, add some lemon zest!

      Hi, love this recipe and have made it countless times! Was wondering if you had a recommendation for how to make this recipe into mini or smaller scones? Thanks!

        Hi Lauren, absolutely! You can easily make 12 smaller scones. Check out this clementine coconut scones recipe to see how I shape and cut the dough into 12. Cut down bake time a little bit, 18-20 mins probably suffice.

    Thank you so much for this recipe. I was looking for something to make for breakfast because I had fresh blueberries and came across yours. However I used 1cup of spelt flour and 1cup of regular white flour and I also made my own buttermilk as another reviewer did. I have to say me and my husband was in heaven when we bit into the finished product. Will definitely be making these again. Thank you.

    I did not have buttermilk so I used milk that I had soured with a little vinegar. This is THE best scone recipe I have ever tasted. I saved it and will never use another scone recipe again. Can’t wait to try different fruit variations!

    These scones were outstanding! I made them exactly as your recipe read and were perfection. The crunch on the outside from the turbinado was great. Had with a cup of coffee and a little lemon drizzle. This is my go to recipe for sure. Can’t wait to check the rest of your recipes.
    P.S. mine even looked like yours 😋

    I just made the scones and they are delicious. I had a question about texture. I used frozen blueberries and did read your comment about the possible changes frozen vs fresh provides; however, my scones flattened out somewhat and were almost cakey rather than flaky. I separated them slightly on the baking sheet which may have contributed to the spread. Will baking them in a container with sides help? I am also attributing the cakey texture to the addition of an egg but not sure. The butter was cut into the flour as directed, pea-sized and the dough handled judiciously. Thoughts? The taste is amazing and will definitely make again.
    Thanks!

      When the scones flatten, it most likely due to too much moisture, whether from the frozen berries, or from the butter being worked too much, or the dough being worked too much (but perhaps not the case here with the butter). My scones are usually crispy on the outside and slightly cakey on the inside so that’s not unusual. I personally prefer a softer texture and the richer taste with the added egg. I think it’s a great idea to bake with a container with sides, it will help them rise higher. Some other things you could try next time is to cut them thicker, freeze them before baking to preserve their shape and to help any of the melted butter within the dough to solidify. For more flaky texture, try folding the dough over itself multiply times and rolling it back out, see this buttermilk biscuits recipe for the method. With the berries in the dough, it might be harder to do the folding method since you might burst the berries, but with any other scone dough, it should work beautifully. Thanks for the feedback btw! Let me know what you try next time. 🙂

    Thank you SO much for this recipe and for so generously sharing it. I am very particular about scones, in terms of texture and taste. I like a bit of crunch on the outside and flaky tenderness on the inside. Your recipe produces both! Best scones I have ever made AND tasted. TY!

        Can I use almond flour with this recipe? Thanks!

          April 21, 2020 at 8:12 pm

          Hi Mary, I don’t recommend almond flour for this recipe for a few reasons:
          1) I have never used almond flour in this recipe before so I can’t be completely sure what to expect.
          2) Almond flour doesn’t have any gluten so it will result in a completely different texture.
          3) Also because almond flour doesn’t have any gluten, I suspect the dough will not hold together well and could be more mealy, fall apart easily.
          However, I understand you may not have access to flour right now and if you have to make the substitution I would make one suggestion to replace some of the milk with an extra egg white to help bind the batter together. I would love to hear how it turns out if you decide to use almond flour.

    Made these last week for my husband. They really were delicious. They came out much bigger than the store bought so next time I will cut them into smaller pieces as he likes them small. Dusted the top with granular surgar as i couldnt find the turbinado sugar. Suggestions on where i can find it? Cant wait to make them again.

      Hey Nona, I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe. IF you cut them smaller next time, be sure to reduce baking time so they don’t burn, just keep an eye on them 5 mins earlier or so. I usually get Sugar in The Raw (brand) turbinado sugar, it comes in a brown paper box, should be available at any grocery store.

    This is the best blueberry muffin I’ve ever made! I decreased the vanilla and added a little bit of lemon extract. I also used frozen berries then topped them with raw sugar. Scrumptious!!
