Low Fat Blueberry Scones

Low Fat Blueberry Scones use frozen butter grated into dry ingredients, combined with buttermilk, egg, and vanilla for a tender dough studded with blueberries. These scones bake into soft, lightly sweet pastries with a delicate crumb and fresh fruit bursts. Their moderate fat content provides a balanced texture while keeping richness in check, making them suitable for breakfast or snacks.

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F°.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients.
  3. Using the large holes of a cheese grater, grate the frozen butter into the flour. Mix well with flour.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg and vanilla.
  5. Using a fork, slowly stir in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, until all the mixture is moistened.
  6. Do not over work the dough. Fold in the blueberries.
