Blackberry, Lemon and White Chocolate Scones

These blackberry, lemon and white chocolate scones were a quick bake we made to use up some blackberries we picked the other day once again at our local pick-your-own farm.

Picking fruit and veg has definitely been one of our favourite activities this summer! Baking is also an activity that I love to do with my kids, and that they enjoy too. Can’t think why!

Scones are one of my favourite things to bake as they are so quick and easy, you can be eating them within half an hour.

Perfect for an afternoon snack or a quick breakfast on the go if you are feeling naughty.

Scones are the traditional afternoon tea recipe and the added blackberry and lemon make these even better!

The recipe is a traditional scone recipe with added blackberries, white chocolate chunks and flavoured with lemon oil. You can also use lemon zest in place of the lemon oil if you don’t have that.

The dough is pretty soft so you need to use a cutter to cut them out. For a nice brown crust brush with a little milk before baking.

Pin these scones for later

I’m linking up with We Should Cocoa, this month hosted by Kate from The Veg Space.

The theme this month is blackberries.

I’m also linking up with The Great British Blackberry Recipe Round Up from Farmersgirl Kitchen and Lavender and Lovage.

Have a look for lots of blackberry inspiration!
