NUTTY BLUEBERRY SCONES
These blueberry scones are so good. They are a great way to start your morning with a hot cup of coffee and a delicious scone. They keep well and are easy to make. You can use any nuts you chose or leave them out. If you like scones, you may also love these bacon cheddar scones.
Blueberry Scones
2 cups self-rising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 stick or 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup blueberries
2/3 cup walnut pieces
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter until mixture is like coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and whipping cream. Add to the flour mixture. Mix until becomes a dough. Fold in blueberries and nuts. Spread dough on a floured surface and pat or roll out in medium sized squares about 1 inch thick. Cut squares into triangles. (I use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into triangles) Spray a baking sheet and place scones on sheet where they don’t touch each other. Brush the tops with melted butter and bake in 425 degree oven 20 to 25 minutes. Makes about 12 scones depending on size you cut your triangles. Serve with your favorite jam, jelly, butter, syrup or topping. We like them with the topping recipe below drizzled over the scones. Enjoy!
Topping for Scones
1 cup confectionery sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup

Made these today and they were very good. My family loved them.The dough was very sticky so I had to use extra flour to be able to pat into squares.
So glad you enjoyed these scones! We love them too.
Following you from the Netherlands and unable to find whipping cream. .. could i also replace the cream with something else?

I’m not fond of blueberries;. Would another fruit like cherries or strawberries work in this recipe? Thanks
Yes, I think you could use another fruit.
No whipping cream…. got a substitute?
Check here Tonia. I have not tried these in this recipe though: http://www.ehow.com/list_6059749_substitutes-whipping-cream.html
I’m wondering about using baking powder with self rising flour? I’ve never seen these two together in a recipe, and I’m just curious. BTW, these look delicious.
It just adds a little more rise to the scones, Liz.
Oh Judy – these looks sooo delicious…and professionally made! I love blueberries any way I can get them. Wish I could come over to enjoy some of these with you….guess I’ll have to make them myself huh? Thanks –
Hi Judy these look great. It’s good to see a post from you too. I hope you’re doing alright, all things considered.
They just look really yummy 😀 Perfect with a cup of tea.
