From scratch scones are EASY to make! Flour, sugar, butter, egg, heavy cream, vanilla extract and of course blueberries are the main staples in this recipe. And in under 30-minutes you can have piping hot, fresh scones straight from your oven!
You can make larger scones or mini ones. The recipe and bake times are the same for either option. If you want to make mini scones, divide your dough into two equal rounds and pat into a circle that is 1-1/2 inches tall. If making larger scones, pat your single round until it is also 1-1/2 inches in height.
Sprinkle raw sugar on top before baking. Chilling is not required, but an hour in the fridge makes these even flakier and better.
Copycat Starbucks Blueberry Scones
Print RecipeIngredients
- SCONES:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- TOPPING:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- raw sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Chilling is not required, but refrigerating the scones for at least an hour before baking make them even flakier and helps them keep their form.
SCONES: Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and sugar in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract and heavy cream. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries. Dump the scone dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into an 8-inch circle, approximately 1-1/2 inches high. Cut into 8 pie shaped slices and transfer to prepared cookie sheet.
TOPPING: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, cream and vanilla extract. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the top of each scone. Sprinkle raw sugar on top of each scone.
For best results, I recommend letting the scones chill in the refrigerator for an hour before baking. Bake scones in 375-degree oven for 20-24 minutes or until golden brown. Remove baked scones from the oven and let set for several minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tender on the inside and bursting with blueberry flavor…

May 29, 2018 at 5:37 PMIt has actually been a while since I had a scone and these blueberry scones sound and look amazing. I’m sure that you were known as the girl who made blueberry scones at work. Anybody would be lucky to work with you. Thanks for sharing.

May 31, 2018 at 9:52 AMThese look wonderful! I wish I worked with you!!!! haha I used to get the scones at Starbucks (before I went GF) and they were usually really good so I’ve really missed them. But sometimes I did find them rock hard or too dry, so I know these would be a gazillion times better. I lovvvve anything blueberry but scones with bits of bursting blueberries are one of my faves. I am drooling just looking at your photos and now I want a scone! haha I am going to try this with my GF flour. Yummylicious 😀
Kelly
June 6, 2018 at 6:30 AMHeheheh thanks Dana! If you try this recipe with GF flour, let me know how they turn out!! I wish I worked with you, so I could have some of your amazing pies! XOXO

Kelly
January 26, 2019 at 6:31 AMYou definitely need to make these then!!
Marissa Johnson
January 20, 2019 at 7:00 AMCould I replace the heavy cream with something in this recipe? I will use the vegan butter I have to replace the butter, but I need a replacement for heavy cream to make them dairy free.
Kelly
January 26, 2019 at 6:33 AMI would try coconut milk or coconut cream instead of the heavy cream….I have never tried it though! Let me know if you try it. I am curious to see how they turn out without the heavy cream!

December 30, 2019 at 3:37 PMWhat if i dont have the creme? Is there aomething else i can use as a substitute?
Kelly
December 30, 2019 at 3:56 PMYou can try whole milk or whatever milk you have on hand. I don’t guarantee it will work the same though….heavy cream has more fat and is thicker. So watch the consistency as you add the milk! Let me know!!
Jasmine
February 18, 2020 at 2:46 PMHi,
I just finished baking these. So good hot!😊 They weren’t very dry as scones tipcaly are and they were pretty blond. But so delicious defentally making these again. Thank you for a great recipe
Kelly
February 19, 2020 at 9:37 AMHi Jasmine!! Yay!! I am so glad you made these and I SO appreciate you leaving this comment! I am so happy that you loved these!! Happy baking my friend! XOXO
Osnat Segev-Harel
May 30, 2020 at 8:43 AMHi – I live in Israel and every visit to the US I buy my scone… so now you allow me to enjoy a better one here at home! I do have a question- not sure about the butter . You add it cold and it melts when you knead? Do you use a mixer or with your hands?
Kelly
May 30, 2020 at 10:33 AMI sent you an email back, because that seemed quickest, but I will answer your comment here for anyone else who has the same question! You want to cube the butter and use a pastry butter or two forks to incorporate the butter into the flour. There will be chunks of butter and that’s totally fine…there’s no way to get the butter completely incorporated into the dough! And you definitely don’t want the butter to melt. I actually pop my scones into the fridge to chill for 30-minutes sometimes before baking. The colder the ingredients they are when they bake, the flakier and more tender your scones will be. DEFINITELY DON’T KNEAD THE DOUGH!!! It will get tough! Hope this helps!! XOXO
Osnat
June 9, 2020 at 8:20 AManother question…. can I use frozen blueberries (they are sooo expensive here in Israel 🙁
Kelly
June 10, 2020 at 7:16 AMI would let them defrost first by setting them out on a paper towel or dish towel, in order to soak up any excess moisture or water. That way your scones don’t get soggy!
Kathleen
July 3, 2020 at 11:02 AMJust made these scones this morning for my kiddos, and they LOVED them, and they are delicious! And pretty too! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Kelly
July 5, 2020 at 10:31 AMThat’s so AWESOME!! Thanks you Kathleen for making these and coming back to leave a comment. Makes me so happy! Glad you family loved them! XOXO
Cindy
July 25, 2020 at 5:10 PMThese Are THE BEST blueberry baked scones ever!!! Thank you!!
Kelly
July 28, 2020 at 10:18 AMAwesome! Thank you so much for the feedback! Glad you love them. They are definitely one of my signature recipes 🙂 XOXO
Teresa Alford
November 9, 2020 at 8:21 AMMy husband LOVES blueberry scones!! They are his favorite and he loves the ones from Starbucks. I saw this recipe and thought I would try it. He finished his first scone and said I was the absolute best cook ever. Thank you so much for this recipe. What a hit it was.
I’m going to double up on this recipe, can I freeze these?
Thanks again!!
Kelly
November 9, 2020 at 8:59 AMThat’s awesome!! And makes me so happy! You can definitely try freezing them. I would wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer storage bag. Then you can take one out at a time to defrost on the counter. They may need a few seconds in the microwave before eating and after defrosting. Let me know if you freeze them!
Kim
January 5, 2022 at 9:34 AMThese turned out good, but I have two tips to make it easier to work with.
1. Place blueberries in with the four before adding the ingredients. I saw two other bakers do this and it makes it much easier to incorporate them evenly without over handling the dough.
2. If your dough is very wet, like mine, then place it in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 min.
Kim
January 5, 2022 at 3:46 PMBTW… It is now 6pm on the day I made the scones and we’ve eaten all but two. They were very good and we just couldn’t help ourselves.
Kelly
January 5, 2022 at 4:44 PMHahaha that’s awesome!! So glad you loved this recipe! XOXO
Kelly
January 5, 2022 at 4:43 PMYes!! Great tips! I have made this recipe so many times, I also discovered that chilling the scones for a bit before baking made them flakier and much better. I will have to edit the post. So glad you enjoyed these! This is one of those recipes I make regularly and family and friends always LOVE them. Enjoy!!
Renee Burton
February 21, 2022 at 2:01 PMHi Kelly. Just verifying that 1 Tablespoon of vanilla is correct? Or should it be 1 teaspoon? Thank you!
Kelly
February 21, 2022 at 2:48 PMHi! One tablespoon is correct!
Renee Burton
February 21, 2022 at 4:31 PMGreat, thank you! Cannot wait to make these 🙂
Kelly
February 21, 2022 at 5:45 PMYou’re welcome!! I make these all the time and everyone loves them! Let me know what you think after making them! I definitely recommend chilling the scones before baking for 1-3 hours. It makes them more tender and flaky. Also, if you toss your blueberries in a bit of flour, that will prevent them from sinking during baking. Enjoy!
Martha Riha
June 1, 2024 at 4:13 PMWell almost Starbucks scones, they don’t use fresh blueberries they use freeze dried.
