About The Recipe
With breakfast being the most important meal of the day, we wanted to share another scone recipe with you all! Honestly, scones have always been one of our favorite breakfast treats to have.
Though, it’s not something we always had. My memories of scones for breakfast actually go back to vacations with my family when I was young!
When I was younger, when we went on vacation, we always went to Florida. For breakfast, there was always scones, cinnamon rolls, yogurt parfaits, muffins…
Each morning, when the cinnamon rolls were sold out, we would always get the muffins and scones! One of our favorite scones were the blueberry and white chocolate.
And, with Spring starting to get into full swing, we thought there would be no better time to share a version of one of our favorite treats!
Though, we did change a few things to make these scones the absolute best that they can be.
The scones we used to get were always a little dry and made with dried blueberries. With store-bought treats, that’s not unusual, but we wanted to do something to make them irresistible.
Our first change was to make a this a cream-based scone. It’s an easier scone to make (no worrying about butter or eggs!), as well as being a little creamier and richer in flavor.
Then, we opted to use fresh blueberries rather than dried.
That made SUCH a difference! Each bite is literally bursting with blueberries and sweet white chocolate. I honestly cannot get ENOUGH!
Every bite is creamy, sweet, with juicy blueberries, and tender scone. Truly the perfect treat to enjoy the Spring season!
What’s The Difference Between a Cream Scone and Butter Scone?
It might not seem like it would change a lot, but it really does! Cream based scones have no eggs and no butter, are richer in flavor and, in my own opinion, have more of a melt-in-your-mouth feel when eating. Butter scones, while still delicious, can be a bit more dense and a little bit more difficult to work with.
