- Mix the dry ingredients together. Use a big mixing bowl because you want lots of room for the mixing process.
- Cut in the frozen butter. You can use your hands or a pastry cutter. Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Whisk the wet ingredients together. Mix dry and wet ingredients with a fork until the dough comes together.
- Toss in the blueberries and mix gently with your hands to combine.
- Then pour out onto the counter.
- Form into a disc and cut into wedges.
- Refrigerate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. In fact, you can even refrigerate overnight for a quick breakfast in the morning!
- Brush with cold heavy cream.
- Bake until golden brown.
TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE PERFECT SCONES
- Frozen butter: When you cut the frozen butter into the dry ingredients you will create crumbs. These crumbs are essential to have scones with a flaky center while keeping the edges crumbly and crisp.
- Don’t over-work scone dough: It’s important to not overwork the dough and never roll it too thin, doing so will make the scone lose the flaky, moist, and delicious crumbly texture.
- Refrigerate before baking: Keeping scone dough as cold as possible prevents over-spreading so don’t skip this step, please.
LEMON GLAZE FOR SCONES
This lemon glaze is sweet and tangy! It’s made with just two ingredients: confectioners’ sugar and fresh lemon juice. It’s the perfect pair for your blueberry scones.
STORING EGGLESS SCONES
Leftover scones keep well at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Yes, you can! Just follow these simple steps:
- Freeze scone dough wedges or rounds on a plate or baking sheet for 1 hour or until relatively frozen,
- Place them in a single layer in a freezer-friendly bag or container. Freeze for up to a month.
