Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

In a food processor, combine 2 cups of the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Pulse until well combined. Add the chilled shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (7 minutes)

03

Step
8 mins

Transfer the flour mixture to a large bowl. Gently fold in the chopped white chocolate, blueberries, and orange zest. Gradually add the cold milk, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! (8 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Gently knead a few times until the dough comes together. (3 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Roll the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or sharp knife to cut out scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. (5 minutes)

06

Step
20 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. (20 minutes)

For extra flavor, try toasting the white chocolate before adding it to the recipe. It brings out a richer, nuttier flavor.
Ensure that the shortening and milk are very cold. The cold ingredients help create a tender, flaky scone.
Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough scone.
Feel free to experiment with other fruits and flavors. Raspberries, cranberries, or lemon zest would all be delicious additions.

    These scones are amazing! The combination of blueberry, orange, and white chocolate is perfect. I've made them several times, and they always disappear quickly!

  • Aliya Leffler

    I was a bit skeptical about the orange zest, but it really elevates the flavor. These are now my go-to scones for weekend brunch.

  • Sadie Nikolaus

    I added a glaze of powdered sugar and orange juice for an extra touch of sweetness. Delicious!

  • Evan Wolf

    The key is definitely not to overmix the dough. I learned that the hard way the first time, but now they turn out perfectly every time.
