Blueberry Cream Scones with Raspberry Jam
blueberry cream scones

These tender and creamy scones are for reader Nicola and her husband. She wrote in and requested a Blueberry Cream Scone, and well, it was hard to argue with figuring out how to make those.

I actually just went back and took my favorite secret scone recipe from my catering days, (not so secret anymore!) and swapped out some of the flavorings to make a gorgeous blueberry cream scone.

But since I always have trouble with leaving good enough alone, I had to keep going. With the 4th of July coming up, I realized that I could easily make these red-white and blue scones with the simple addition of some red raspberry jam.

So I did it. I cut the dough in half, and made a scone sandwich with the jam. They baked up beautifully, (although a little messy!) and tasted incredible. In the words of Pia, “mom, these are like really, really delicious!”
