These blueberry scones are inspired by the Starbucks scones but wayyyy better! They're soft, tender, and buttery with fresh juicy blueberries and sweet, crunchy tops. The dough comes together a flash and they bake for just 20 minutes, so they're the perfect quick breakfast that tastes like it came from a professional bakery!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Freeze Your Butter First ❄️Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes and freeze for 15 minutes before mixing into the dry ingredients—this creates pockets of steam that produce impossibly tender, flaky scones.
- Coat Blueberries in Flour 🫐Toss fresh blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the dough to prevent them from sinking to the bottom and bleeding into the batter.
- Don't Overmix the Dough 🙅Mix until just combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense scones instead of the light, tender crumb you're after.
- Apply Egg Wash Before Turbinado Sugar 🥚Brush the shaped scones with a mixture of heavy cream and egg before sprinkling turbinado sugar; this acts as an adhesive so the crystals stay put and create that signature crunchy, jeweled top.
- Use Greek Yogurt for Moisture 🥛The Greek yogurt adds tanginess and keeps the scones incredibly moist without making them greasy, while also creating a more delicate crumb structure than buttermilk alone.
