Buttermilk Blueberry Scones

These buttermilk blueberry scones are light and tender with bright blueberries, perfect for a slow morning or a small gathering.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, mix buttermilk and vanilla if using.
  5. Pour buttermilk into the dry mixture and stir just until combined; the dough will be slightly sticky.
  6. Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  7. Turn dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
  8. Cut the disk into 6–8 wedges and place them on the baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until tops are light golden.
  10. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool more.

Notes

Keep butter cold until cutting to ensure flaky scones. For variations, consider adding lemon zest for flavor or replace some blueberries with chocolate chips.
