In reply to Melanie. Hi Melanie, when you omit the cornmeal, be sure to add more flour. And you can bake them as individual scones so they dry out more. Cheers!

I made these and thought they were too tender of a scone. I prefer my scones a bit drier so I want to have them with my coffee. I also did not like the cornmeal in them. I do think Zoe is always spot on with her instructions and everything I make of hers does turn out and is not a flop. I will try these again and omit the cornmeal and add a touch more salt.

Made today with fresh local blueberries, buttermilk in the dough (but still used cream to brush on top) and took another commenter’s suggestion to add white chocolate chips because I didn’t have candied ginger. These had a beautiful texture that was light and biscuit-y without being dense or dry. The cornmeal definitely added some dimension and chew. My dough was a little wet, maybe because of the buttermilk, and I had to add a few more tablespoons of flour as I was shaping the disk. The temp and timings in the recipe worked well for me. Will definitely make again! Thank you, Zoe!

Made a half batch this morning and left out ginger. Totally appreciate how easy it was to cut recipe in half. They baked up beautifully and tasted great. Love that they are not super sweet. Will definitely make this recipe again. Thank you.

These blueberry scones were so easy to make. Comes together in no time and if you share them with your family, neighbors or friends they will be gone faster then you make them. Blueberries in every bite. Also posted the pictures of this beautiful scone recipe on my Instagram @agneshomechef. Thank you Zoe for another great recipe to keep.

For a self-described horrible baker, this recipe was great. It was easy to follow and will be my go-to for scones.

I baked these delicious scones sans ginger with frozen berries. A real crowd-pleaser with divine aroma and flavor!

Even though I love blueberries and scones, I haven’t always been a big blueberry scone fan for some reason. I was eager to try these, however! I was worried that my cornmeal might be too coarse, but the end result wa tender and lovely. I’m glad I didn’t reduce the candied ginger amount, because it wasn’t overpowering at all (the scone was mostly lemon-forward from the zest). I made a half recipe into six scones, which were still quite large. Next time (I’ll definitely make them again!), I might cut them into eighths…

I have made these several times and they are always loved! The cornmeal is what makes them special and adds a bit of interesting texture. This time in place of the ginger, I used some chopped white chocolate. I love the combo of blueberries and white chocolate and they came out delicious!
