There is nothing nicer than a freshly baked scone for breakfast! I love to enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea. And they make a great afternoon snack too! These blueberry lemon scones are so bright and summery! Blueberries are at their peak right now and will be all summer long. There are no excuses not to make them. And nothing plays off the mild sweet flavor of blueberries like lemon does. It’s the perfect combination!
How to Make Blueberry Lemon Scones:
To make blueberry lemon scones, combine your dry ingredients in a food processor, and then pulse in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stream in the cream and you will see the dough come together into a ball. Then, gently work the berries into the dough using your hands, taking care not to smash them. You’ll divide the dough in half and carefully pat each portion of dough into a round disc. Score each disc into 6 equal wedges and bake. Once they’re completely cooled, they can be drizzled with a simple lemon icing and enjoyed! The icing is completely optional, but I think you’ll agree that it’s actually pretty much mandatory. It adds another layer of sweetness to these blueberry lemon scones, and it makes them pretty too!

Lemon Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce and Gooey Blueberry Cookie Bars are great choices too!
