blueberry scones anyone

06.28.14

Blueberries—there’s plenty of those at the market, it’s the season!  Go get you some.  You can freeze them for use later in the year + you can use ’em for smoothies, salads, and desserts.  But today it scones, so Blueberry scones anyone?

blueberry scones anyone-delish

You know I have friends that are afraid intimidated rather, by scone making. You shouldn’t be.   They’re actually no harder than making biscuits!

Arándano = blueberry in Spanish.  

Such a “hard” word for such a beautiful little berry!  Don’t you think?  Regardless, it makes a wonderful scone, one that you will want to keep eating & eating, til the last scone.  Good thing you can freeze ’em before or after baking.  The key to scones is too not over-knead the dough, no over mixing, keep the cold ingredients—cold!  Those are the hardest parts!  Seriously!


Blueberry Scones

  • 1 stick cold butter
  • 1 cup  fresh blueberries (place in freezer just until ready to use)
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 cups  flour (extra for dusting prep area)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 t baking powder
  • ¼ t baking soda
  • ½ t salt
  • 1 t  lemon zest
  • 2 T melted butter

Preheat to 425˚.  Grate the butter using a food processor or using a hand grater.

Whisk the buttermilk and yogurt in a small bowl; refrigerate until needed.  Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest in a medium mixing bowl.  Add the grated butter to the flour mixture and toss with fingers until thoroughly coated but not completely blended.

Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and fold with a spatula just until combined, dough will be a bit sticky. *(I like to cover my work surface with waxed paper for an easier cleanup.) Transfer the dough to the floured work surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour, and knead with well floured hands, just until the dough holds together in a ball.

With your hands, pat out 1/2 of the dough into a 6″ rectangle.  Sprinkle 1/2 of the blueberries evenly over the surface of the dough, and gently press down so that they are slightly embedded in the dough surface.  Using a dough scraper or you can fold over the waxed paper until you flip the dough, creating a blueberry taco.

Using a sharp, floured knife, cut the rectangle crosswise into triangles.  Transfer them to a lined baking sheet.

Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with crystal sugar. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Bake until the tops and bottoms are golden brown, 16-22 minutes.  Transfer to a wire rack and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Makes about 12 scones

* (If freezing ahead of time, flash freeze the scones on the baking sheet for 20 minutes, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag until needed.  Bake straight from the freezer, adding on a few minutes of baking time as necessary.)

Don’t these look great?  They tasted even better than these pictures!


This weekend, treat your family to this deliciousness for breakfast or tea time~

    00h! Can I join the cooking party. It would be wonderful to have someone, more my age todo things with. I moved 150 miles from Home! I live that far away from home now. I only have my 80 year old mom who wouldn’t be interested. I am 62 and I feel my future is behind me.

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Doing something I haven’t done in 5 years and channeling my inner “momma”!

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
