Summer breakfasts just got sweeter. Treat yourself and your loved ones to a Blueberry Scone. These are bursting with berries with a hint of lemon.
Pumpkin picking.
Apple picking.
Strawberry picking.
All things I’m familiar with and grew up doing.
But blueberry picking? – that’s a different story.
I picked my first blueberry this June.
& my opinion on blueberries is forever changed!
Sure, they’re smaller than strawberries and take longer to pick.
But you don’t have to bend all the way to the ground to get them.
and the flavor . . . is outstanding!
Before handpicking blueberries, I probably would’ve ranked blueberries pretty low on the fruit totem pole. But I would’ve been so wrong!
If you agree that blueberries are one of the best fruits, you’re sure to love these scones.
When I made this peach berry cobbler, I wondered if the biscuit topping could be modified for scones – & voila! These scones are even better than bakery scones – in my humble opinion.
The touch of lemon really makes these scones pop and reminds me of my mom’s blueberry muffin recipe.
I hope you love this recipe as much as I do! 🙂
