When it comes to breakfasts, I am all about prepping at the beginning of the week (usually Sundays) so that I have something quick to eat every morning. Being a work-from-home-mom, timing is everything. Even though I’m on a tight schedule, I never want to sacrifice a good meal.
My Beginner Blueberry Scones
When I think of easy, no-hassle breakfasts, scones and muffins are the first to come to mind. This past weekend, I found myself with two containers of blueberries so I decided to whip-up some blueberry scones.
I like to call these my Beginner Blueberry Scones because they are SO easy to whip-up. If you’re a first-timer to making scones, then this recipe is the one for you!
Tips for Making My Easy Blueberry Scones Recipe
Are you a beginner scone-maker? Don’t worry! Here are a few quick notes for baking a delicious batch of blueberry scones:
- Use cold butter (and avoid touching the butter with your hands to keep its cool temperature)
- Use heavy cream (at least 35% fat) for ultra-tender scones
- Start with the dry ingredients and then add heavy cream at the end
- Invest in a pastry cutter because that will help incorporate your cold butter to the dry ingredients
