These buttermilk blueberry scones are golden on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with blueberries in every bite. Buttermilk gives them a tender texture and a slight tang that balances the sweet fruit perfectly. They’re easy to make and even easier to love!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

  • ¾ cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.

  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, keep them frozen to prevent bleeding.

  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat into an 8-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.

  7. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

  8. Brush the tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.

  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  10. Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar with ¾ cup milk and let sit 5 minutes.

  • Try adding a lemon glaze on top for extra zing: mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tsp lemon juice.

  • These scones freeze well! Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a warm oven.
