I love to enjoy Blueberry Scones on the weekend out on my deck with a cup of hot steaming coffee in the early morning hours. I love the texture of these and the tart sweetness of the lemony glaze!

A love of blueberries - A family tradition

I am always in happy land when blueberries are around. My son Justin is too! As a baby, blueberries were his very favorite fruit to eat. My mom would sit him in the highchair and let him eat as many as he wanted. I like to think he got some great nutrition from all those berries. He was my berry boy and took after his mom quite well.

I love making recipes with fresh blueberries. These Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins are probably one of my very favorite muffin recipes. Nothing says love to me like a warm from the oven-baked good with blueberries.

What you need to make this recipe for Blueberry Scones

Fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best in this recipe. You can substitute frozen, but expect them to turn out slightly different as there is moisture from those frozen berries that will seep out into the dough.

Sugar-Free French Vanilla Creamer: Using the creamer added a bit of flavor without extra sugar in the recipe.

Unsalted butter: Be sure the butter being used is cold butter. You will need to cut it into the flour mixture cold.

Pastry Blender: This makes it much easier to cut the butter into the flour mixture.

How to improvise and make this Blueberry Scone recipe your way

This blueberry scone recipe came about by improvising one I found from Tyler Florence. Many people had reviewed that recipe indicating it was a very dry dough. I decided to make his recipe my own way and got rid of the heavy cream in the recipe. Below are some ideas on how to substitute ingredients to make this Blueberry Scone recipe to fit what you may have in your pantry.

Skip the sugar-free coffee creamer if you don't use it and use all half and half.
If you only have salted butter, reduce the salt by half or skip it altogether.
- Instead of glazing the scones, brush them with a little half and half prior to baking and sprinkle with some coarse sugar crystals on top of the blueberry scones.
