These were wonderful scones! We love scones with fresh fruit and real butter!!! Yum! Made them for breakfast this morning! Easy and if one follows the directions and uses fresh blueberries... you won't have any problems. This recipe is deserving of the five stars. To not follow the recipe and complain that the results are less deserving is ludicrous to me. Thank you for a great recipe! Always, Jelly :)

I would suggest thawing your blueberries before putting them in the batter as I encountered two problems. The blueberries thawed quite qucikly which meant a lot of excess liquid in the batter meaning I had to add around about a cup of extra flour and also as the blueberries thawed they changed the colour of the batter. The end product looked almost green. The flavour was quite nice but the appearance was unavoidably off putting. Made for ZWT6 (Voracious Vagabonds)
