My White Chocolate and Blueberry Scone recipe is a decadent step up from your usual plain fluffy scone! The sweet lemon glaze provides the finishing touch to this morning tea favourite.
Bakers Delight Copy-cat Recipe
The inspiration for my scone recipe came from Bakers Delight. I liked the idea of the Bakers Delight scones with fruit and white chocolate, however, when I tried one they tasted a little artificial. My scones are more natural and homemade tasting because they only include natural, wholesome ingredients.
I've been really looking forward to sharing my white chocolate and blueberry scone recipe with you. It's been on my "to-do list" since my lovely friend and Thermomix Group Leader Gemma announced a "Scone Off."
Gemma is renowned for her amazing scones. They have even won CWA Scone competitions. I have shared Gemma's Scone recipe on this website and it is one of my most popular recipes. So my scone was up against Gemma's in a "scone-off". I have always liked my scones to have a bit more to them than just the fluffy interior, so I knew I would be sharing this scone recipe with the group.
Conventional Cooking Method
Prior to owning a Thermomix I would always make scones in the food processor so converting my recipe to the Thermomix was a cinch. If you don't have a Thermomix you can use a food processor.
- Add butter and flour to the food processor and pulse until it resembles sand or fine breadcrumbs.
- Then add the butter and flour mixture to a bowl and stir the remaining ingredients in with a large spoon.
- Try to use your hands as little as possible, scones like to be cold. The warmth from your hands will melt the butter, which results in a heavy scone.
- Then continue with the recipe as written below.
Serving The Scones
Are you wondering what my scones taste like? Obviously, they're delicious! Even with the addition of white chocolate, they're not overly sweet. The lemon glaze gives a lovely sweet, tart finish to the fruity treat. The texture of my scone is light and buttery on the inside. I love eating these when they're hot. There is no need to serve them with butter or cream, they are already fabulous. If you do want to add butter, when not make your own homemade butter whilst the scones bake!
What I love about this recipe is that it's quick and has no fuss. Just 5 minutes of effort with the Thermomix and 25 minutes in the oven. Then the gorgeous smell of freshly baked blueberry scones will fill the house.
Storing the Scones
As with all scones, they're best consumed on the day of baking. Having said that my kids took them to school the following day and were pretty pleased to have them for recess.
If you do have leftovers just store them in an airtight container. Try to eat them within a day or two as they won't keep any longer than that. Blueberries don't like to live long off the bush, especially after being baked!
If you're looking for a basic, never fail scone, that doesn't use the cream I have an amazing classic Thermomix scone recipe here that I'm sure you will love.
FAQ Blueberry Scone Recipe
It is better to use frozen blueberries as it keeps the dough cool and the berries hold their shape as they're being mixed in.
No, this recipe needs to be 100% pure butter, butter, and oil mix, or margarine will give a heavy scone.
Yes, you can substitute mixed berries, just be sure to use the same quantity.

So yummy! I cooked for longer, as mine were still moist after the initial time. I also affect extra blueberries at the end as mine had coloured the dough so I figured there may not be too many whole ones left. I will definitely make these again! Thanks
Colleen says
I've got this in the oven as we speak, so excited because it sounds absolutely amazing! My mixture seemed a little wet so hopefully it still works out okay.
Julie Carlyle says
I hope you enjoy the recipe. My mixture was a little moist too but the scones are delicious! I just finished my last one for breakfast ????
Colleen says
It worked out perfectly! Absolutely delicious!
Julie Carlyle says
I'm so pleased Colleen!! I will have to make some more too ????
Helen @ Fuss Free Flavours says
Homemade scones are the best, and so nice when just made, with a good cup of tea. White chocolate and blueberry sound like a delicious combination.
Alyssa says
I really wish I had these for breakfast this morning! They'd sound lovely!
Michelle | The Last Food Blog says
I love a good scone, these sound lovely. I really love the idea of adding white chocolate and that lemon glaze, yum!
Kate | Veggie Desserts says
Oh my! These scones look absolutely sensational. The combo of blueberries and white chocolate sounds divine.
Emma @ Supper in the Suburbs says
What a fab recipe! I've heard so many good things about the thermomix and am always surprised at what you can make in it - scones!? Who'd have thought! Also...I really want to know the origin behind the triangular shape 😛 in the UK we make our scones round!
Julie Carlyle says
I think the triangle shape is just because us aussies are too lazy to use cookie cutters to get a round scone!!
