Cherry Blueberry Scones Recipe (for July 4th)

Start the 4th of July off right with these yummy patriotic breakfast scones. They are so pretty, and so easy to make!

The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and what could be better than starting off the day with a red, white, and blue breakfast scone? They can be whipped up in just minutes, and they are so tasty!

With cherries, blueberries, and white chocolate, these scones are packed with flavor! I used dried blueberries, and they add a yummy chewiness that is a perfect balance to the juicy cherries.

I love sprinkling the tops of my scones with sugar, but you can use a simple glaze instead. Or you can just omit that step, they will still be delicious.
