Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached flour, plus more for rolling berries
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut in chunks
- 3/4 cup buttermilk or cream
- 1 egg
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix thoroughly. Cut in butter using 2 forks or a pastry blender. The butter pieces should be coated with flour and resemble crumbs.
In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg together, and then add to the flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate, do no overwork the dough.
Roll blueberries in flour to coat, this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the scone when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to bruise. Drop large tablespoons of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until brown. Cool before applying orange glaze.
Orange Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 oranges, juiced and zested
To prepare Orange Glaze: combine butter, sugar, orange zest, and juice over a double boiler. Cook until butter and sugar are melted and mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and beat until smooth and slightly cool. Drizzle or brush on top of scones and let glaze get hazy and hardened.

Making these scones were the first scones I have ever tried to make. The recipe is quick and easy, and it's possible you may have all the ingredients on hand. I followed the recipe and they were delicious. My hubby has already asked if I can make them in different flavors. Great recipe

I have been using this recipe for almost 4 years now and my entire family will no longer eat scones out. They will only eat these. Thanks Tyler for such a great one!

Easy to make and delicious. I made these Sunday morning and had
them with my morning coffee. They were light in texture and full of fresh blueberries and the slightly tart orange glaze complimented the
sweet scone. Definitely a recipe I will use again. Thank you Tyler!
