A few days ago, I tried the Starbucks scones and I wasn’t really surprised at how it tasted. I wish I can say it was moist, and bursting with flavors but it wasn’t. Maybe I had something that was a bit old from the Starbucks that I went to but I am not sure.
In my honest opinion, it was a downgrade from any scone you can make at home, but at the same time, I understand that convenience is also king.
This is the best Starbucks Blueberry Scones
That’s exactly why I decided to make this copycat recipe, to allow you to recreate your favorite Starbucks bakery item at home easily and have it taste even better than the real thing.
It is full of fresh blueberries, cream, and a crunchy topping for the perfect textural and flavor experience.
