There’s nothing better than a warm home-baked pastry and a hot drink to warm the soul. I love comfort foods, especially this time of year. My husband and I don’t drink coffee, but we do enjoy a good cup of tea. We always keep a variety of herbal teas in our cupboard, not because it is trendy—42% of Americans under 30 prefer tea— but because it is comforting.

The girls and I went to a tea party at my aunt’s house and they were very surprised when she served herbal tea. That’s when I realized that they hadn’t ever had tea before! Hundreds of little tea parties, but always with water or lemonade. Haha! They weren’t fans at all, but that’s okay. I wasn’t as a kid either, but I do enjoy it now.

Scones and herbal teas are absolutely the perfect combination, and this blueberry scones recipe is to die for. I love making them because they appear to be a bit fancy, but are actually incredibly easy to make!

    That’s funny, I just settled into my chair with a cup of hot tea and some warm banana bread, and started perusing the Dishing It and Digging It Linkup. Your post was the first one I clicked on. I love scones! We have several blueberry bushes and I would love to make your scones with my blueberries! Thanks for this wonderful-looking recipe.

    Oh my… they look delicious! I’ve made scones but not blueberry yet (surprisingly) and never with icing. I’m going to have to try those. Oh and I see your drinking one of my favorite teas… bigelow’s mint tea! My 3 and 4 yr olds actually like the mint too…surprised me!

    I made these scones and they are in the oven. I have to say it’s one of the worst messes I’ve ever cooked. I’d sayd wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooooooo much liquid.

      Hi Pat! I’m sorry to hear that it made a mess for you! The dough is definitely much more wet than a biscuit dough would be. I generously flour my work surface and hands, pat the dough down, then roll it to the circle shape. Sometimes I put a little flour on the rolling pin if it needs it. Then I transfer the scones to a baking sheet with a metal spatula. Seems to eliminate a lot of the mess. I hope they still taste delicious for you!
