For best results, use very cold butter and handle the dough as little as possible to ensure tender, flaky scones. If you don't have dried blueberries, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the dough. Feel free to experiment with other citrus zests, such as lemon or orange, in place of the lime. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
