Blueberry Lemon Scones

I’m not a person who likes biscuits and I don’t care for sweet things. But at our church camp, the cook fixed some blueberry scones. They were delicious! Not very sweet and not a biscuit.

So, I decided to try my hand at some scones and decided to make mine blueberry lemon. They were a hit at our house. So good that I’ve made them twice!

Blueberries are in season now, so it was easy to find some that were ripe and sweet. Frozen blueberries can be used also, but don’t thaw them or they will bleed into the dough, and you will have purple/blue scones. Give these a try and see if you like them as much as we do❤️
