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.

The first recipe I’ll share is Creamy Baked Eggs. I’ll share the rest with you later this week! Promise.

Creamy cheesey sauce mixed with eggs and bacon. Tasty by itself or on the side of cinnamon rolls, muffins, scones, or anything sweet. This recipe is a great brunch dish because it can be made the night before.
