Lemon Blueberry Scones | #SummerDessertWeek

This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine. In this recipe, I used the blueberry lemonade candy melts from Wilton!

Scones are seriously the best. Especially lemon blueberry scones. Well, it’s a little bit cheating because the lemon comes from the lemon blueberry candy melts! It kind of makes these blueberry scones a bit of breakfast and a bit of dessert. But, I’m not mad about it.

I had never made homemade scones until about a year ago or so and then I seriously considered why it took me so long! They are SO simple and so delicious. Plus, they stay fresh for a few days if you or your family doesn’t eat them in one day!

If you are a scone lover like me, here and here are two other recipes to make!

There are a few things that are important to note while making these lemon blueberry scones. 1) Make sure your butter is COLD. It helps with the texture of the scones. 2) We used high fat coconut milk but you could also use heavy cream. But, you need FAT for these scones. 3) If you use frozen blueberries, do not let them thaw or they’ll bleed and your scones will be purple!

These ingredients and kitchen tools will help you make the best lemon blueberry scones!

• OXO Bench Scraper
• Blueberry Lemonade Candy Melts
• Silicone Baking Mats
