Is this a British scone recipe? Or are they an American biscuit? And is it a "sconn" or a "scone"?! There's a lot of debate in today's copycat recipe! I'm attempting to recreate the Starbucks Blueberry Scone, which apparently we can't actually get in the UK! Correct me if I'm wrong, because I swear I've had one before!

Blueberry Scones Ingredients
2 cups (240g) plain flour
⅓ cup (66g) granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
Pinch salt
Zest of 1 lemon
½ cup (113g) butter
1 egg
⅔ cup (160ml) double cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1.5 cups (300g) blueberries
1 cup (63g) icing sugar
4 tbsp milk or cream

Starbucks Blueberry Scones Recipe

First preheat your oven to 400F or 200C. In classic cake style, first mix all the dry ingredients together - plain flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and lemon zest.

Now we’re going to do something a bit extra and grate, yes grate, your butter! This will help the next step where we would normally rub the butter into the dry ingredients. So make sure your butter is cold enough to be grated then get to work. Grate the butter directly into the bowl of dry ingredients then just toss it around a little bit so it’s covered in the flour mixture, apparently it doesn’t even need to be completely mixed as the heat of the oven will help it blend in and keep your scones moist!

Now add in your eggs, vanilla extract and cream. This feels extra luxurious as it’s normally milk when I make a scone recipe. Mix this together but don’t overmix, just let it become a dough that cleans the bowl for you.

Finally gently mix in the blueberries. I don’t mind mine a bit squished, but get them nice and fresh and keep them in the fridge beforehand so they don’t get too squashy or you’ll end up with purple scones! I think you could use frozen ones here too but don’t let them defrost before adding them. You might need to add a little bit of flour here if your dough gets too sticky as the butter melts in.

Time to shape the scones! Sprinkle some flour on your work surface, then pat your dough out into a disc with your hands, the size of a small pizza, not mini pizza (or the first version with a tiny Chloe!) size that I made a few years ago! Now use a floured knife to chop your scone disc into 8 triangles like pizza slices. Pop these into the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool and firm up on the tray while you prep the icing drizzle. You’ve got a choice of cream or milk here, I had cream left over so I went with it! Mix the icing sugar and cream or milk together here until it’s a pourable consistency and drizzle it on. Then move to a plate if you have time, or enjoy straight away!
