Scones are like muffins’ sophisticated older cousin, if you ask me. There’s something so very pristine about them, even though they’re simply buttery, creamy, triangle-shaped pastries with a flaky and buttery texture and blueberries filling every bite. And they take about 30 minutes or less to throw together… Oh, and don’t forget to sprinkle them with sugar before baking. It adds the prettiest sparkle on top and a little crunch of sweetness when you bite in. I mean, I did mention these guys are ~fancy~, didn’t I? Of course we have to dress them up with sugar!

• Sugar:Some sugar gives the scones a subtle sweetness. Plus, sprinkle extra on top of the scones before baking!
• Baking powder:Baking powder helps the scones to rise as they bake.
• Salt:Salt balances out the sweetness of sugar and fruit.
• Blueberries:You can use frozen or fresh — whatever you have!
• Cream:Cream adds some fat to the dough which makes it more moist and rich.
• Butter:Melted butter brushed on top of the scones before baking helps the tops to get a nice flaky, golden-brown finish.

Tips for Making the Best Scones:

Scones are pretty fool-proof but keep in mind these simple tricks when making them:

• Don’t worry about thawing frozen blueberries:They’re so small that they’ll thaw quickly on their own as you work the dough and begin to bake the scones.
• Do a quick knead:Kneading the dough a few times ensures the ingredients are all incorporated well and encourages the scones to rise as they bake.
• Brush the tops with butter:Melted butter and sprinkled sugar before baking the scones creates the best texture and appearance!
