Blueberry, White Chocolate & Toasted Walnut Scones
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (spooned into cup & leveled with knife)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus additional for sprinkling
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
3 large eggs, divided use
1/4 cup yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt; whisk in 6 tablespoons sugar until combined. Knead in butter, using fingertips, until well incorporated and mixture starts to clump together, forming pea-sized lumps. Gently stir in blueberries, walnuts and white chocolate chips until combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, yogurt and vanilla until combined; sprinkle into flour mixture and toss together using a fork.
Turn shaggy dough out onto a floured surface, and gently pat and knead until it comes together, handling as little as possible. Form two (6-inch) rounds. Insides of the rounds should be thicker. Slice each round into 6 equal triangles and place on cookie sheets. Whisk the addtional egg in a small bowl and brush evenly on scones; sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks until ready to serve.

Congratulations on the tripod and I look forward to seeing some new pics with your new lens! If I were to bite into one of these I think I would say the same thing as "oh nuts Eric"!...LOL
ReplyDeleteMMM that burger looks good! Thanks for the scone recipe.. I have 3 pounds of blueberries that I picked that I am still deciding on what to do with them! I think this may be a winner :-D
ReplyDeleteEmily, this looks like a great recipe--especially with the addition of yogurt, which is my new preferred ingredient. ;) I loved the Oh Nuts Eric post, BTW--it was one of my very faves.
ReplyDeleteWell now since Eric has declared them as f***ing delicious, I'm going to have to try them, aren't I?
ReplyDeleteI knew that boy was a keeper the first time I read about him! Oh, how I love scones. These look just delicious. Have fun with your new camera accessories. Looking forward to a burger from you soon.
ReplyDeletethose look amazing! thanks for the tip off about Starbucks! :)
ReplyDeletemmm I would l like this for breakfast right now.
ReplyDelete*sniff* I'm hungry for scones. *sniff*
ReplyDelete*claps* Yay, new lens! I'm happy for you, Em, although it'll make me hungrier! *claps*
YAY for the tripod!! It made a world of difference for me whenI finally got one too!
ReplyDeleteThese scones look great!! I love blueberries with white chocolate, such a perfect combo!
I'll never become a vegetarian, I've decided, because I love burgers too much :)! I love burgers that are loaded, especially if they have bacon yum!
ReplyDeleteScones are another favorite of mine, anything carby works for me :).
where do we get one of these for free? :) i'd take it over anything at s-bux!!
ReplyDeleteI love Blueberry and white chocolate!This scone sounds perfect with coffee
ReplyDeleteHave I ever mentioned how much I love scones? I LOVE SCONES!
ReplyDeleteThese look so incredibly good. Love the blueberries.
I love the shape of them. I love the size of them. I love the blueberries of them. I love them!
ReplyDeleteThey do look good! And thanks for the starbucks head up :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good scone recipe Em. Can't wait to see the progress with your new camera equipment:D My dad just send me a "new to me" camera so we will see if things chnage once I figure it all out.
ReplyDeletedelightful flavor combination, and what great color! some people can't wait for the build a better burger cookbook, others can't wait for the show, but me--i just can't wait for my next burger. period. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for a tripod and new camera lens - very exciting! Your scones loo perfect! I have definitely been guilty of over-working the batter, so thanks for that tip.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I've never made a burger myself before? My hubby always does it, so I don't think I'm qualified to enter the BBB contest :)
I love scones, I might make some this weekend for a breakfast treat.
ReplyDeleteI have a tripod but I am usually too lazy to set everything up. I know that is terrible.
I have a bowl full of blueberries in the fridge...this recipe would be great. Looks delicious like everything you bake!
ReplyDeleteMmm, these sound like delicious scones! I love scones but don't make them as often as I should.
ReplyDeleteOhh, new camera equipment. Eric sounds like a cool guy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome scones-it's almost bby season around here and I think I'll have to give these a go when the time is right.
Yum! These look so good!
ReplyDeleteI have never baked a scone, but they are on my list to try. Yours look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how you like your new lens!
Your pictures are already good now, imagine with the new equipment! Gorgeous scones, the ones made with yogurt are my favourites!
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful! I hope I'll get to try them. I've had trouble with the scones I've made recently being more like muffin batter, making it hard form them. This scone has the perfect combo of flavors, if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteAwesome review... I mean what more do I need to hear? :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll be sleeping? Can't a little coffee at 10am wake you up :)
Your scones look amazing. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYum! There's nothing like a good scone, and these are a far cry from the bland items sreved up at ladies afternoon teas in Oz.
ReplyDeletethese look so good! when i was in toronto last week, i saw a bakery called sugar plum, and thought of you :) i'm sure their stuff wasn't as good as yours, though!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scones! I would like one with my coffee, please!
ReplyDeleteOh my Goodness!
ReplyDeleteI am going to try those tonight I think!
Great photos. Doesn't a good tripod make a huge difference?!
ReplyDeleteI'm typically not a huge fan of scones, but these look super yummy! Especially w. the blueberries & white chocolate
ReplyDeleteI LOVE scones! And any new recipe is worth trying to me! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of scones, but these look delicious! Trying to hit Starbucks in the am.
ReplyDeleteOooh - what lens did you get? These scones look great - I should make scones more often.
ReplyDeleteYay for your new tripod! This blog will just get better and better!
ReplyDeleteThe scones look great, very nice combo of flavours.
Thanks for the tips on Starbucks, I may just make it. It's 10:45!
The scones look amazing and I love blueberry scones. I will have to try this recipe. I haven't made scones in years, probably because the last time I made them they turned out bad. I don't think I could lose with your recipe though =)
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me that my tripod is missing :(
ReplyDeleteYummy, I need to attempt to make these, I never made scones!
ReplyDeleteI like this version of Cheeseburger in paradise better.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have a boyfriend that cusses and buys you nice things. You deserve that, hunny.
I don't cuss thattt much! :D
ReplyDeleteGlad you like your tripod, dear. Thanks for the scones. Ilysm.
Great fun with the new tripod! These look awesome! Loving the scones... and the burgers! Too much good lovin' all in one post, Lady! :)
ReplyDeleteThat totally looks like something I would and could stuff in my face! I'll have to try this recipe out cause I LOVE scones!
ReplyDeleteYou do too! You have a foul mouth. But I love you.
ReplyDeleteI made these scones with a few alterations because it was what I had on hand, but I used dried cranberries instead of blueberries, dark chocolate chips instead of white, and almonds instead of walnuts, and they were delicious! Great scone base! The yogurt really gives these a great consistency, yum :-)
ReplyDeleteOooh, a tripod! How fancy.
ReplyDeleteI love scones, though I rarely make them. (Buttermilk biscuits tend to win out in the scone vs. biscuit battle.)
These look lovely, and not too dense. I like the idea of walnuts- they so often get overlooked in the world of baked goods.
Yum. Another recipe to try with all the blueberries I'm going to buy soon!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for new camera equipment!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived next door to you so I could be that annoying neighbor that pokes my head through your window every day and says, "Watcha cookin'?" in hopes of trying all your creations.
made these this morning - w/ a few interruptions from my 2 and 1 year old! They were SO yummy! This recipe is def a keeper! Keep the yummy recipes coming!
