Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment, or grease them with butter.
- Chop the butter into 1/4-inch pieces. (It is important to make the pieces no larger than 1/4 inch because they are difficult to make any smaller once frozen.) Spread on a plate and place in the freezer until hard, about 30 minutes or overnight.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Add the butter, and chop with two butter knives or a pastry blender until it is well blended and some of the butter is crumbly. Mix in the pecans.
- Gradually add the buttermilk, 1/3 cup at a time, and mix gently until all ingredients are incorporated but not completely blended. You might not use up all of the liquid. The end result should be a shaggy mass.
- Sprinkle the blueberries on top of the dough and only mix enough to evenly distribute the berries.
- Gently form the dough into 1/3-cup balls and place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. (You may freeze the balls at this point and bake them later. Once frozen, place scones in freezer storage bags.).
MY FAVORITE BLUEBERRY SCONES
These better-than-the-bakery blueberry scones are bursting with juicy blueberries. They're buttery and moist with crisp crumbly edges and soft flaky centers. Read through the recipe before beginning. You can skip the chilling for 15 minutes prior to baking, but I highly recommend it to prevent the scones from over-spreading.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. See video above for a closer look at the texture. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together.
- Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the blueberries, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
- Pour onto the counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 more Tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges.
- Brush scones with remaining heavy cream and for extra crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar. (You can do this before or after refrigerating in the next step.)
- Place scones on a plate or lined baking sheet (if your fridge has space!) and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. After refrigerating, arrange scones 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before topping with vanilla icing.
- Leftover iced or un-iced scones keep well at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the scone batter.
- Chop the pecans finely: Finely chopped pecans will distribute evenly throughout the scones and provide a nice crunch.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the scones rise evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
These blueberry and pecan scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a weekend brunch or a special occasion. The scones are light and fluffy, with a tender crumb and a sweet and tangy flavor. The blueberries and pecans add a nice crunch and texture.
