Yesterday, I baked some Blueberry-Lemon Scones... Yumm!!! There is nothing like spreading out the dough with your hands, patiently waiting for them to bake & then drizzling them with lemon glaze! There is nothing like the first bite! I love baking scones! :)
Blueberry-Lemon Scones
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/3 cup low-fat milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, & lemon zest.
Cut butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
(I used a food processor & it worked perfectly!)
Carefully fold in the blueberries.
Add the milk & lemon juice, and stir until just combined; try not to overmix.
Use a little more milk if dough is too dry to work with.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; shape it into an 8-inch round.
Cut circle into 8 wedges & place them on the baking sheet.
Bake until golden, for approximately 18 minutes.
But in my opinion, the Blueberry-Lemon Scones are so much better!
Also, here are a couple of recent cell phone pictures. Sorry the quality is not so good... but I had to include them, because my cousin, her husband & their
adorable little girl (
see better pictures of her here) have just moved from California to Colorado, this week! So they will
be so much closer to all of my family now & we are all so excited! YAY!!!
& I just have to say, that little girl's smile is about the cutest thing in the world!!
Happy Weekend!
