Lemon Blueberry Scones are cute and sweet just like mom—making them the perfect addition to your Mother’s Day brunch. Better yet, serve one to her bedside with a cup of coffee or hot tea. Either way, mom will be delighted by these tasty triangles.
Made with plump, juicy blueberries and tart lemons, these scones are sweet with a tangy zing of citrus. But just like the best scones, they aren’t overly sweet. In that case, you might want to serve mom two!
You’ll find these scones are golden brown with crumbly edges, but not dry. Inside, they are light and fluffy. Each bite is bursting with zesty lemon and blueberry bliss.
The scones are topped with a citrusy-sweet glaze, made with fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar. It’s a simple combination but delivers lots of fresh flavors.
In addition to Mother’s Day, these scones would be perfect for any spring or summertime brunch. Delicate and beautiful, they make an elegant addition to wedding and baby showers.
