Scones are one of my favorite breakfast and brunch dishes to make specially when you are short on time. They come together quick and when served warm, they are delectable. Plus you can make savory or sweet and use whatever is at hands, seasonal berries, orange etc. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhat the secret to making good scones?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Keep everything cold, that is the only secret. Cold ingredients to begin with, specially, egg, buttermilk. I have used butter in different ways like crumbling between fingers, food processor and using a tool to make pastry. The best result is however from grating the cold butter. It is uniform and can be quickly coated with dry ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Scones is British, Biscuit is American. There are some subtle differences like shape, use of egg and cream or buttermilk options. They have more commons than differences, like cold butter, no kneading or beating and variety of flavors. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Substitutions and Variations<\/h2>\n

This is a basic recipe and one of my favorites. I make the same recipe with strawberries scones<\/a>. You can also make dates and walnuts scones with the same recipe.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in savory scones, you can try my cheddar cheese and green onions scones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What to eat with blueberry scones?<\/h2>\n

This is a breakfast, brunch or tea item. So a good hot beverage like tea or coffee is the best combination. You can serve it as a side dish to other breakfast items. Usually I pair the sweet scones like Strawberry Scones or Orange scones with something savory like Frittata or Omlette or Quiche. If you are serving cheese scones, you can serve pancakes and waffles.<\/p>\n

Storage and Make Ahead<\/h2>\n

Scones are best eaten fresh, however if you want to make ahead, i will prepare and even brush them and then freeze. Once solid, i will store them in a zip lock and freeze up to a week.<\/p>\n

When serving, place on a baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 F without thawing.<\/p>\n

The glaze can be combined in a sauce pan and heated at the time of serving to maintain the consistency.<\/p>\n
