I promised! Here are the scones from last weekend. Amazing? Yep!

I love scones but never seem to buy them or make them. It’s the once in a (very long) while, I order one and remember, oh yeah…I love these things.  Plain, blueberry, chocolate chip, with icing; I love them all.

These were light, slightly sweet, moist, and oh so good. They were a hit at the jewelry party.

BLUEBERRY SCONES

INGREDIENTS

3 C flour

1/3 C sugar

1 tsp salt

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 C unsalted butter

1 C buttermilk

1 C blueberries

1 T flour

1 T heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Add butter and mix with your hands until completely blended. Add buttermilk and mix just until combined. Toss blueberries with flour. Fold into batter.

2. Transfer dough to a floured counter and divide into 2 parts. Roll each to 3/4″ thick. Cut each round into 8 wedges and place slightly separated on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with the cream.

3. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
