Servings 4 scones

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup All purpose flour*
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder*
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 5 tbsp Unsalted butter, cold, cut in chunks
  • 1 cup Blueberries
  • 1 cup Heavy cream, plus some more for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.
  • Cut cold butter into the flour until the mixture is unevenly crumbly with some of the butter remaining in larger pieces.
  • Add in the bluberries and gently mix it in the flour. Be careful not to squish the blueberries as they might burst
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream.
  • Fold in everything gently until everything is incorporated properly but do not overwork the dough.
  • Place the dough on a well floured surface.
  • Press the dough into a 1.5 to 2 inch thick circle. Be careful as always not to be too rough as the blueberries might break
  • Cut into 4 equal pieces
  • Brush each piece lightly with heavy cream. This is to ensure the scones get a golden glaze when you bake them
  • Place the scones on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or baking sheet
  • Bake for around 15 to 20 minutes or until the scones are beautifully golden brown .
  • Let the scones cool a bit before digging in.

Notes

Tips
  • Measure your flour correctly. Make sure to spoon and level the flour, so you do not add too much.
  • Butter must be COLD. Or else it will melt before baking, and these homemade scones won’t get those classic flaky layers.
  • For best results, use baking powder that has been opened in the last 6 - 12 months.
  • Avoid overworking the dough or else the scones won’t rise as much and can be dense.
  • If using frozen blueberries, add them directly to the dough. Do not let them thaw to room temperature, or the scones will be soggy.
  • To get the perfect scones, refrigerate the shaped scones before baking.
  • Don’t overbake the Starbucks scones. Scones will be dry if they are overbaked. Take them out of the oven once they just turn golden brown.
Storing Starbucks Blueberry Scones
It is best to have these delicious scones the same day but if you need to store them, keep them in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To freeze, let the warm scones cool completely and then place them in a freezer bag or airtight container. They’re good for up to 3 months in the freezer. It is best to freeze these tender scones before adding any glaze on top.
Thaw them on the counter for 1 hour or overnight inside your fridge. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Make-Ahead Instructions
You can also freeze the shaped dough before baking. Cover the baking tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or move them to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
