Blueberry Scones
Hi and welcome to our website!
If you are looking for a recipe for blueberry scones, you are in the right place. So make yourself a cup of tea and seat back to watch our 10 minute video on step by step instructions of my recipe. Plus if you don't know blueberries are medically proven to be extremely healthy for you and picking them yourself you know where they came from. I will also share with you more informations about blueberries and of course my recipe.
This picture above was taken by me, from last fall 2018 of my blueberries picked here in Newfoundland and Labrador in my community, they are so delicious and full of antioxidants. I always make sure I freeze a couple of freezer bags full of them for through the winter months when I'm craving blueberries.
These blueberry scones are so easy to make and they can be stored in your fridge for up to a week wrapped in saran or freezer bag. Then when you feel you like to have a few freshly baked scones then make them. Or freeze then after you bake them and have as you like them.
Toss your blueberries in 1 tbsp of flour to cloth them to stick to your dough when working them through the dough. When mixing the dough with your hand and form into a ball, cut the ball of dough in half and roll out with a rolling pin.
Please continue on to our recipe for these delicious blueberry scones, I will also share with you a link to our first and second cookbooks available on amazon and through me.

Blueberry scones are very easy to make and so delicious with a nice cup of tea, you can have these on hand at your home to pop in the oven when you are expecting company. Just wrap the dough in a piece of clear wrap or freezer bag and keep in the fridge up to a week to use.
Here in Newfoundland and Labrador we have miles of all types of berries, blueberries being at the top of my list. We start picking berries around late August unto early November, this I know because I have picked them.
In August you will start by picking blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries and tag berries, then early September you will start picking gooseberries, blackberries, plum-boys. Late September you start picking the partridgeberries, cranberries, bake apples and dog berries, unto early November.
I may have forgotten a few berries and if I have I do apologize, you can send me a message with the one’s I’ve forgotten.

Can you use partridge berries instead of blueberries for this recipe?
Hi Michelle: Thank you for your message and for stopping by, of course you can use partridgeberries or cranberries. If I already answered you in a previous message please forgive me. Enjoy to the fullest 🙂 Bonita
These are so delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipes and your personality with us :-). A friend of mine here in Gander made your raisin buns this week and recommended your site and videos. I used blueberries and partridgeberries that we picked last year on Joe Batts Pond road around 10 km west of Gander. And instead of using the glaze I sprinkled a teeny amount of sugar On the tops as soon as they came out of oven. It’s a dreary day here today in covid isolation so we all enjoyed them for lunch with some cheese and cuppa tea. Thank you!

This was absolutely fabulous!!!
I loved why you didn’t specifically give the amount of blueberries or lemon zest…1 pint of fresh blueberries made a blueberry pop in EVERY bite.
I put the whisk on the Kitchenaid to cut in the the various sizes of butter bits I made, added the liquid to the bowl for a quick couple of spins around the bowl…VOILÁ
My husband hates, hate is a nice word for exactly what he said, when I make things others have made from the interwebz but this was the first mmmhmmm, which is I like it but will NOT let you know that I really do think it’s not at all bad and I think I actually do like it and it doesn’t feel so dense it would sop up Lake Michigan if you threw it in the lake(he’s from Michigan and that was a running joke in his family about homemade biscuits…lol)
Not overly sweet and bursting with fresh blueberries 😉

I made these scones with partridge berries instead of blueberries and they were perfect, I omitted lemon zest and didn’t make the galze and they were amazing. I also baked them on a silicone liner instead of parchment paper so took 15 minutes to bake them perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Nancy, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, I’m so glad you made our recipe and changed it up to make it your own. I love baking with partridgeberries they are my favourite berry for sure. Have a wonderful week and Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🙂 Bonita
