User Comments:
- "These scones are absolutely delicious! The blueberries add a perfect touch of sweetness and the texture is so light and fluffy."
- "I made these for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. They were so easy to make and everyone loved them."
- "I'm not usually a scone fan, but these are amazing! They are so moist and flavorful."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- Do not overmix the dough, as this will make the scones tough.
- Make sure to use cold butter and frozen blueberries, as this will help to create a flaky texture.
- If you don't have frozen blueberries, you can use fresh blueberries instead. However, fresh blueberries may release more moisture, so you may need to adjust the amount of milk you add.
