Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 2 days ahead of time.
- How to Store: Blueberry scones can be wrapped in plastic at room temperature for 3 days or kept in the refrigerator for 5 days. They also freeze well wrapped tightly in plastic for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator a day before wanting to serve them.
- Carry Over Cooking won’t stop cooking when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to cook as they cool, but it won’t be direct heat that will help keep them from drying out.
- Feel free to add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients if you'd like.
