 Blueberry Scones | Status Approved | | Name |  Blueberry Scones | | Category | The Bakery, Breakfast | | Serves/Yields | Approx 8- 10 scones | | Source | Kate | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 15 monutes | | Cook Time | 12- 15 minutes | | Introduction | | These scones are a real treat for blueberry lovers. I had them at a tea house one afternoon and begged for the recipe. | | Ingredients | |
2 cups all_purpose_flour
3 teaspoons baking_powder
pinch of salt
3 Tablespoons granulated_sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
5 Tablespoons soft butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional
Milk and confectioners sugar for glaze.
| | Directions | | Step: 1 | Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Grease a large baking sheet. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and allspice in a large bowl. Add the butter and cut it in with a pastry knife or fork until it is in small pieces like crumbs.
| | Step: 2 | Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk. Stir several strokes, add the wild blueberries, and stir until a soft dough forms. The dough may need a sprinkle more milk if it does not all come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Form into a ball and flatten into a 9 or 10 inch disk. Using a sharp, long-bladed knife, cut the dough into 8 or 10 wedges, as you would cut a pie. You can either slide dough onto baking sheet as is for scones shaped in wedges, or separate the pieces and form them into slightly flattened balls for scones shaped in circles. For either shape, brush the tops with milk. For a sweet, crunchy surface, sprinkle some sugar on each one. | | Step: 3 | Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown (they may take a bit longer if baked as the big disk scored into wedges). Remove from baking sheet when done (cut wedges apart at existing score marks) and serve hot. Drizzle glaze over warm scones if using.
Delicious with butter and honey or the more traditional clotted cream and jam. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | I joined the site today and have already tried this recipe. They are beautiful. I needed the extra little bit of milk, like you said, and substituted the all-spice for cinnamon, cos I had none, but I'm delighted with the result. Thanks a million for the recipe. |
