Bisquick Blueberry Scones

After having read way to many
books that feature
characters indulging in English Teas,
I was having awful cravings
for crumpets, scones, and cucumber sandwiches.

I am not a tea drinker excepting for
when I am ill...which has been 
more oft than naught the past few weeks
(silly cold!).
I usually have a little tea with my honey 
and wash it down with something to eat.
After the umpteenth cup of 
tea from last week
I wasn't looking forward to any more
this week. 
So I decided to kick it up a notch 
and make it a bit more bearable.
With baked goodies of course.

When I came upon this Bisquick recipe for
blueberry scones, I knew I had a winner!



Blueberry Scones

3 cups Bisquick
2 tbsp. sugar
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs

Glaze:
1 egg, well beaten
2 tbsp. sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

In medium bowl, combine the baking mix,
2 tablespoons sugar, and blueberries.
Pour milk into a measuring cup.
Add the eggs to the milk and beat with a fork 
until well mixed. Stir liquid into baking mix
until moistened (dough will be crumbly).

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface
and pat into a  9 inch round, 1/2 inch thick pan.
Brush the dough with the beaten egg and 
sprinkle with the sugar.
Cut the round into 12 wedges and place
on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.



I make only 1/2 batches for snacking
(that way I can't over-do it!)
These go great with my tea/coffee!

I'm surprised that you add in the blueberries before mixing and kneading. Wouldn't the berries (if they're fresh) burst and be less than delicious? If they're frozen, I don't think it will make a difference.

Looks great and simple. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to give it a try.

Oh, yes, I've always used frozen blueberries! I'm sure you are right in assuming that folding and pressing in fresh blueberries would result in quite the mess.
