Blueberry White Chocolate Almond Scones
Blueberry White Chocolate Almond Scones
Isn’t that a mouthful but I just couldn’t leave out one. The blueberries, white chocolate and almonds all play a major roll in the absolute deliciousness of these scones.
I am not one for overly sweet scones. The sweetness should come from the condiments you slather on later, like clotted cream….mmmmm (can’t get no real clotted cream around here, doggone it!) and jam.
But even though these have the white chocolate in them they are still not too sweet. I am still working on the food photography and here is the shot that many Facebook followers picked but I think it was because they all liked the blue dishes. I do love my transfer ware too but they steal the show and you are distracted from the scones, at least to me.
The scones should have been gussied up a bit for the photos with maybe a drizzle of blueberry syrup or the powdered sugar. But the flavor more than makes up for my pitiful photography efforts. I really need to work more on staging.
These scones are very easy and you don’t even need to cut out fancy shapes, I did that for fun. Usually I just cut the circle of dough into triangles..like this.
These lovely triangles bake up into these beauties..
I know, you are thinking lets just get on with the recipe…okay, here ya go..
A delicious scone recipe for tea time or make it a light dessert, you can even enjoy these for breakfast if you wish. This is a modification of my Cherry Scones..recipe also on this blogBlueberry White Chocolate Almond Scones

What would you have done to stage the scones better?
Any hints and constructive criticism is appreciated.
My chickadee painting tutorial video should be finished uploading soon and I hope to have that ready by Tuesday. Barring any weird blips with it loading to YouTube! Those have been known to happen.
Happy Baking!

I once lived closer to amenities such as that as well and I do miss it but I too love where I live now.
I too live in the middle of nowhere but we moved here from the city a couple of years ago and I still vaguely remember having access to real stores 🙂 I’m happy in our new home but I must confess that I’m shallow enough to miss B&N, Dillard’s, Hobby Lobby, and Target. Oh well, such is life.
I have never tried any at Barnes and Noble but I live in the back of beyond so we don’t have one near. I hope you do enjoy these, I know we have!
Let me know how the gluten free works out for you, I would be interested. I have a couple friends who must eat gluten free and it would be nice to know if this translates well. Yes, please do come on back from some painting fun. I am trying to bring fresh new tutorials more frequently.
I recently found your blog and really enjoy your posts. The transfer ware is lovely, but I think the scones look better on the white dish. The scone recipe sounds wonderful, but I have to eat gluten free. I am going to try it with gluten free flour and hope it will work out okay. I also plan on watching some of your painting videos after the holidays to pick up some tips for a beginner. Hope you have a great holiday.
I love blueberry scones and am saving this recipe to make a little later, when I dig out from under all the Christmas stuff. I love the scones at Barnes & Noble but I’m sure these will be better. Thanks!
