Anyway, blueberries are the best and scones are the best and when you put them together and add a glaze to it, it makes a treat that you’ll be super proud to show off.
This is a glazed blueberry scone recipe featuring vanilla, but if you want to get creative, you can also adjust the glaze and make it lemon, strawberry, or even something wild like chocolate.
