Easy Stpe-by-Step: 

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) in a large bowl.
4. Add the cold butter using your fingers or a fork until the mix is crumbly.
5. The next step is to add the wet ingredients like milk and vanilla.

Can I Use Frozen Blueberries? 

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries while making scones. They are a perfect substitute for fresh ones, especially when it’s not blueberry season. 

Don’t thaw them before using. It might turn your dough BLUE. Always use them directly from the freezer. 

Easy Swaps & Add-Ins You Can Try 

Do you want to switch things up a little? I have some suggestions for you. They taste great as well. 

• If you have raspberries, use them. They give your scones an extra depth of sweetness, which makes every bite satisfying.
• Chocolate chips can also be added for extra sweetness and crunch. They infuse your scones with a chocolatey flavor.

Finally, if you want to enjoy a nutty, slightly buttery flavor, a splash of almond extract would work fine.

With this simple recipe guide, your blueberry scones would ALWAYS come out good. I’ve used it for up to 3 years with no regrets. After your first try, you will want to make it over and over again.
