My history with scones has not always been a happy one. Dry, crumbly versions seemed to follow me wherever I went and I was always baffled when someone spoke of the moist, flavorful scones they ate at the Joe Blow coffee house down the road or in their grandmother’s kitchen. The only experience I had with a moist scone was when I accidentally dropped one into my cup of tea. And then, along came my husband’s cousin, who taught me to make her Crystallized Ginger & Chocolate Scones and turned my breakfast bread world upside down. Why, these little triangles were tender and flavorful…and completely addictive. I am a scone convert.
This recipe for Blueberry Streusel Scones is from Tasty Kitchen member ppkongacooks, otherwise known as Katrin from the blog Running with the Devil(ed) Eggs. Not only does Katrin hail from my homeland – she lives in Toronto, Canada – but her blog is filled with tempting recipes such as Red Curry Mango Chicken and Banana Split Ice Cream. Lucky for us, she always makes a mean scone, topped with a generous layer of sweet, buttery streusel.

That’s a gorgeous scone! Looks like a must try.
Craving this!
I’ve never been a scone person but you may make me a believer yet!
y.u.m.
They look delicious with the blueberries!
I will have to check this out. I want to be a scone convert too! I have yet to have a good experience with them as well!
Dara,
thanks so much for the spotlight! What a wonderful way to wake up this morning to see someone who you follow, admire and aspire to be friends with post something about you
You made my week!
Cheers
Katrin
You’re a sweetheart, Katrin. It was my pleasure to feature you and your wonderful recipe!
I am a follower of Running With The Devil(ed) Eggs on Facebook and a lover of your blog as well. What a wonderful combination here! Plus I have never made scones so I am going to try now. I have blueberry bushes in my yard that are ready to go and now I know what I am going to do with them
Thanks Bobbi! For my first try they really were a hit and I hope you enjoy them as much as we did
Yum yum! I’ll be visiting my daughter who lives in Brighton< England next week. Looking forward to lots of scones.
These looks delicious! I love blueberries.
Love the look of these babies. Yum!
Oh do these look good or what?:)
I’ve had my fair share of scone dud recipes myself in the past. This one looks like a winner!
wow! this sounds delicious:) i love scones.. and this new jazzed versions is making me crave for some right now.
They look delicious! On my way over!
North of Toronto there are so many wild blueberries, this would be perfect.
A moist scone is definitely hard to come by – and these look just perfect!
I think a scone is a well kept secret, one that many do not utilize…. this one looks perfect… blueberries are way over down here, but thank goodness I have some in my freezer…..
I love how even with the use of fresh berries the whole thing comes out looking like delicious candy.
Blueberries may be the best thing in the whole world.
Your blueberry scone is calling to me:)
Up at 3am today & really wishing I had a plate of these scones by my side. With 10 cups of coffee. Beautiful Dara!
You can’t beat the streusel on top of the scones. These would be perfect with a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon pick me up!
Dara, yesterday was baking day, but this makes me want to head right back into the kitchen! Love the crumbly top.
These looks so awesome. I cannot wait to try. I have not had scone success either. This a must try for me!
These look amazing! The strudel topping is the best part
These are such delicious looking scones, what a great treat for breakfast!
I love scones and the addition of the streusel topping is genius!
The scones look great.
Oh my goodness gracious do those look good! WOW…what a fantastic breakfast item that would be hehe
This is definitely a saver! I’m trying these asap! They look and sound so good – thanks for sharing!
Well, now, THAT scone doesn’t look dry and sawdusty! And the chocolate ginger scones sound phenomenal too. I love scones, I truly do!
Dara, your scones look fabulous!!! I love the idea of a streusel topping….mmmmmmm. Buzzed and stumbled
Oh great! It looks rocky on the outside. I must check it as it implies a soft and tender fillings in the inside.
I love scones and I love streusels on cakes and muffins so this recipe is a must try for me!
I have just started getting into scones – another one to try!
It’s hard for me to resist a moist and tender scone. This one looks especially promising with the streusel – I’ll head on over to check it out – thanks!
