Making these blueberry-lime scones couldn’t be simpler. They will taste better when you eat them right out of the oven than any you’ve ever tasted in a coffee shop.

| Yield: | 8 scones |
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 3 ounces dried blueberries
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Grate butter into flour mixture; toss and mix until mixture looks like coarse meal.
- Whisk sour cream, egg, and lime zest together in a small bowl; add to flour mixture along with blueberries. Mix with a fork to form a dough. Turn dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Pat into a 7-inch round. Cut into 8 wedge-shaped pieces and separate scones. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 18 minutes. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- For super chilled butter that grates easily, freeze a whole stick of butter for this recipe.

Delicious! I think the sour cream makes the difference, they’re so light and tender. I only had fresh blueberries so I dehydrated then overnight and they were ready to use first thing this morning. Don’t change a thing!
So delicious. I used fresh blueberries but didn’t change anything else. Perfect for morning coffee or even light dessert after dinner!
2.23.22 Followed this recipe to the letter and wouldn’t change a thing. Took them out of the oven at 15 minutes, and they were tender, packed with blueberry flavor, and the perfect side kick to a cup of coffee. In case you’re wondering where you’ll find dried blueberries, I bought them at Aldi. Thanks for sharing your recipe, this one’s a keeper.
