Why You’ll Love…
You’ll love this White Chocolate Blueberry Scones recipe because of the sweet blueberries and the little crunch of the white chocolate drizzle! I love how the blueberries pop in the scones and pair perfectly with the crumbly scone texture!
Types of Blueberries
For these White Chocolate chip Blueberry Scones, you can really use any three types of blueberries: dried, fresh, or frozen! Here are my tips with each type of blueberry!
Working with dried blueberries is probably the easiest as they don’t add extra moisture to the scone dough, however, you don’t get the bright pops of blueberries!
If you use fresh blueberries, just be gentle when you’re working with the dough so you aren’t squishing the blueberries!
If you decide to use frozen blueberries, I recommend keeping them cold and frozen before adding them to the dough! You don’t want them to thaw too much, as that can add extra moisture into the dough and could cause the scones to crumble!
All will be delicious, it’s really up to what’s available near you!
Substitutions and Additions:
These White Chocolate Scones with Blueberries are so delicious with the combination of the blueberries and creamy white chocolate! Here are few additions to make these even more delicious!
Add Lemon: From lemon zest to lemon juice, a pop of lemon works just as delicious in this recipe! Blueberry and lemon are the best of friends during spring and summer!
Use Another Berry: You can add in cherries, raspberries or even cranberries to make these more seasonal! I love the idea of a cranberry, orange, and white chocolate scone!

Equipment Needed:
Box Grater – This is one of my favorite tools for making scones! It makes working the butter into the flour mixture so much easier!
Baking Tray – I prefer to use a large baking sheet so the scones have plenty of room when they’re baking!
Parchment Paper – I always use parchment paper when I’m baking to make sure nothing gets stuck to the pan!
Mixing Bowl – I like to use a large bowl to mix together the ingredients, so I can use my hands to really form and shape the dough!

Helpful Tips and Tricks
I prefer to use grated butter since that’s the easiest way to get the butter into pea-sized pieces without warming up the butter too much! If you don’t have a box grater, you can just cut the butter into small squares and use two knives or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour.
These blueberry scones are a delicious treat to make while you’re stuck inside during the chilly winter months! They bake up with the perfect texture combined with the juicy blueberries and the perfect white chocolate drizzle!
Cheers!
