Blueberry Scone Recipe

created a doc "Blueberry Scones".

3 c. all purpose flour

4 tsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp. salt

12 tblsp. cold unsalted butter (1 and 1/2stick) cut into small pieces

1/2 c. heavy cream

2 large eggs

1 c. sugar

2 pints of fresh blueberries or frozen (with frozen blueberries I use a ¼ to ½ cup less flour)

mix all the dry ingredients (including the sugar)

put the pieces of butter in and mash it into the flour mixture until

it resembles peas (or until all butter chunks are gone)...(i use a pastry cutter)

in a separate bowl whisk eggs and cream

pour egg/cream mix. on top of the flour mixture

fold the egg/cream mix. in first and then add the blueberries

keep working the mixture together gently.

Divide and shape dough (with hands) into 12 balls and place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 mins. add a little powdered sugar on

top after they come out of the oven

Also: I sometimes replace the blueberries with craisins and slivered almonds or with whatever I have in the fridge:)
