Why You Will Love These

Hi Friends! It has been chilly here lately so I have been baking up some treats for a little comfort. Today's recipe is perfect for a spring tea party, Easter brunch or family picnic. These are made with fresh blueberries, but you can make them with frozen if you do not have fresh on hand.

Pair these with Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches for an afternoon tea party.

These are light and crisp, but not too crisp and are topped with a light lemon icing. 

I actually adore making scones, it is fun to put together the ingredients and cut up the dough for scones. I usually make full-size scones, but you can make smaller wheels and make mini scones.

Equipment Tips for Blueberry Scones

• When you are making the dough, it is really helpful to have a good pastry cutter to help you work the dough. 
• Bake on a prepared baking sheet with >parchment paper.

• You can make the dough ahead of time and store the dough in your refrigerator. I highly recommend making them the day or morning of and then you can bake them and have them ready to decorate later. 
• Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. This really saves on clean up and makes the cookies easy to lift off of the pan.
