![]() Buttermilk Scones With Blueberries D. Rattray At a Glance Course : Bread, Breakfast, Brunch Special : Easy Type of Prep : Bake, Processor Cuisine : Irish, U.S. Regional Occasion : Spring, St.Patrick's Day Related RecipesBlueberry Buttermilk SconesButtermilk and cinnamon-sugar sweeten the tops of these delicious blueberry scones. Use currants in place of the dried blueberries, if you like. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:Heat oven to 400°. In a food processor fitted with metal blade, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, baking powder, and soda. Pulse a few times to combine. Add pieces of cold butter and pulse several times, until mixture looks like coarse meal. Add buttermilk a little at a time, pulsing a few times after each addition, until the 3/4 cup buttermilk is used and mixture is clumping. Add the dried blueberries and pulse just a few times to blend into the dough, or fold them in by hand. If you don't have a food processor, the butter can be cut in with a pastry blender or your fingertips, and continue mixing gently as for biscuits.
Transfer dough to a floured surface and pat into a round about 1/2-inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter and place on greased baking sheet or baking sheet lined with nonstick silicone mat. Brush with buttermilk then sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve warm with butter and jam or preserves.
