Blueberry Orange Scones Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

20 10 30

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup cold butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened blueberries

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and orange juice just until moistened. Gently fold in blueberries.
Turn onto a floured surface; gently knead 10 times. Pat into an 8-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges. Separate wedges and place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 8 scones.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

Definitely needs more sugar in the batter and sprinkling on top. Batter was too thick and hard to fold in blueberries, also a tad dry. Will not make these again without making some changes to it.
