Directions
If you have found scones in the past to be a little dry then you must try these blueberry scones that are light, fluffy and moist.
Easy to make, they come out of the oven tender, flaky, and ultra-moist. Buttermilk keeps these scone moist and tender, Buttermilk also helps the scones puff up and become light and fluffy. I highly recommend using fresh blueberries as they seem to work much better.
Best to make these in summer when fresh plump blueberries are easy to find.
