Scones...oh so delightful!

Scones are a wonderful quick bread style pastry (if you can call them that)

that is just plain delicious and tender with any fruit in them.

This weekend I treated my family to Blueberry Scones for

breakfast.  They were gobbled up fast!

Here is the recipe, compliments of recipes.com.

Blueberry Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 T baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup cold butter (chopped)

1 cup fresh blueberries (or any fresh fruit)

3/4 cup half and half (I used 2% milk and it worked just fine)

1 egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Cut butter into mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Add blueberries and toss to mix.  In a separate bowl beat together cream (or milk) and egg, slowly pouring into dry ingredients, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until a dough, of sorts, forms.  Knead until it comes together but do NOT overwork.  Okay folks..I will warn you, this is a wet and sticky dough.  Don't be tempted to add more flour...not yet.  Divide the wet sticky mess in half and dump onto a very floured countertop.  Knead with hands covered in flour.  Prepare to make a mess! LOL  Mix as well as you can.  Pat out each half into a circle and cut into 6 wedges.  You will have a total of 12 wedges when you are finished.  Bake on an ungreased sheet about 20 minutes.  Best served warm, with butter, but delicious later after it cools too!  Enjoy!
