Thanks for sharing!

White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Scones combine fresh blueberries and sweet white chocolate chips in a buttermilk based scone recipe. These tender, moist scones can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack. They pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

Years ago someone once said to me that we should get together over scones and I had no idea what scones actually were.

Fast forward to today, and I’m obsessed with them. I still remember getting my first Starbuck’s blueberry scone and how delicious it was. Never did I think that someday I’d be baking my own.

My first scones recipe for White Chocolate Raspberry Scones was a hit, so I thought why not repeat that magic with blueberries. Except this time I swapped out the heavy cream for buttermilk which gives these scones so much more moisture and a more tender crumb.

Why This Recipe Works

Making scones from scratch is actually not that difficult. The biggest thing is to use cold butter and chill the dough before cutting and baking them.

You can enjoy these scones for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. They pair deliciously with a cup of tea of coffee.

These scones are made with fresh blueberries and buttermilk. They are not dry like most scones, but rather very moist.

How to Make White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Scones

What You Need To Make This Recipe

For the Blueberry Scones you will need:

Ingredients needed to make blueberry buttermilk scones

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter (cold and cut into pieces)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

For the Vanilla Glaze you will need:

Ingredients needed to make vanilla glaze for scones

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Create!

Dry ingredients for scones in a large glass bowl over a white background

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine.

Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse crumbles.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 cup of the buttermilk.

Mix the egg and buttermilk into the flour, adding extra buttermilk, as needed, to get the dough to just stick together.

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and blueberries.

Blueberry scones dough divided into 2 rounds and cut into 4 triangles each

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.

Shape the dough into 2 round circles, about 1/2 to 3/4-inch high on the baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or the freezer for quicker cooling) to get it very cold before cutting and baking.

Note: you can see in the photo above that my scones dough was getting warm and sticky. After placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, it was very cold and ready to bake.

Cut the dough into 6 triangles (or 4 for larger scones, as pictured) and separate them an inch or two.

Tips and Techniques

  • Ensure that your butter is very cold when you are making scones.
  • Place the shaped scones dough in the refrigerator until it’s very cold. Then, cut the scones and bake as instructed. Cold dough rises better and will give you perfect scones.
  • Store leftover scones in an air-tight container. Use within 1-2 days for best results.

FAQ’s

Can Scones Be Made Ahead Of Time?

You can make scones the night before. Shape the dough into rounds, then refrigerate until morning, or when needed.

Can You Freeze Scones?

Yes. Shape and cut the scones dough, if desired. Wrap them individually tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer. To bake, you may need to add a few minutes to the bake time of the recipe. Use any frozen scones within a month for best results.
