I’m not a fan of scones as I find them too dry. Great idea to add fruit as it would give it some moisture

Mmm yes please. Would be nice when you don’t have jam on hand too

I love these. Less sugar than a muffin, but still delicious.

Just wish I could do such a traditional recipe. A CWA lady I know reckons that my body heat stops me making scones the ‘proper’ way, so I stick to using the ‘lemonade’ method and use one recipe on here for just 6 scones. Perfect for just a Darby & Joan – but I will incorporate your cinnamon and blueberries next time and see how it works.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Why do I keep seeing such scrumptious recipes. I’ll never reduce my weight at this rate. Who cares. Let’s get that oven cranked up.

Yum, a great recipe. I usually buy my blueberry scone from Bakers Delight, but loving that I can now make my own.
