Preparation

Step 1

Ramblings of a baking addict

1 large egg, lightly beaten

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, the baking powder, orange zest, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed. Combine the egg and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy. Add the blueberries to the dough, and mix on low speed until blended.

I'm off to make the scones now :)

Procrastobaker, I'm still digging that name :) You must make the pull apart bread!!!

I adore scones and blueberries but I have never attempted to make them before. Your recipe was enticing because of your lovely photos. So I took the challenge and made it last week and they were just perfect! I was so happy with the outcome! I will be making these again!

this looks suuuper amazing btw!! ima make this after exams tomorrow :D

Rut roh.... Does orange zest go in flour mixture? (Shea)

Oops, I left the zest out of the directions! I will add it shortly, but yes, the zest should be blended with the flour mixture. Thanks for catching that :)

I just baked these blueberry scones. Awesomely delicious. My kids ate them without any additional butter or jam! Thanks

Hi Marty, so glad they turned out well for you :) I did not use orange juice in the blueberry scones, but I did use it in the other scone variation I did (orange glazed strawberry scones).

I just made these yesterday morning and they were delicious!! I woke up this morning planning to have one for breakfast but my roommates had finished them all off! Can't wait to make them again. Thanks for the great recipe!
