directions

  • Turn your oven on to 375 degrees.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Slice in the cold butter and blend with a pastry blender till the mixture is like a coarse meal texture. (You may use two knives and "cut" the butter in by slicing in an "X" pattern if you don't have a pastry blender.).
  • Pour the squeezed lemon juice in a measuring cup.
  • Crack the egg in the measuring cup with the lemon juice.
  • Pour in enough milk into the SAME measuring cup until you have about 1 cup of liquid total.
  • Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients.
  • Mix in the blueberries.
  • Knead the dough on floured board 4 to 5 times and pat out to about 1" thick.
  • Cut with cookie cutter or slice into triangles and place on greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until done.
  • *You may sprinkle sliced almonds on before baking*.

  1. these were great, took them to work and they did the rating, I didn't have any dried blueberries so I used fresh,loved the lemon flavor. Thanks
     
  2. These are AMAZING! I had never made scones before, and now that I know how easy they are to make, I'll be making them a lot more. When I originally chose this recipe, I didn't realize that it called for DRIED blueberries, which I don't have, so I substituted dried cranberries. I've had some great lemon-cranberry cookies, so I thought it would be a good fit. I also used 1/2 whole wheat flour. I did sprinkle with sliced almonds, but they don't stay very well. I made a thin glaze flavored with a few drops of almond extract to drizzle over the top. Next time, I'll sprinkle the almonds over the wet glaze to help them stick. DH also says they're really good. My girls will love these for breakfast tomorrow--and it's a lot cheaper than buying them at the coffee shop! I might also try these with orange instead of lemon...might be a great combo with the cranberries for the holidays. Made for PAC Fall 2008. Thanks for posting!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love cooking terrific food. Recipes that include chocolate tend to be my favorites. Unfortunately, I have a few kids who moan and groan whenever I cook something healthy. This is usually every night! I have referred many teachers to this site and have even used it for a class who was looking up International Meals for a special Parents Night! **** Update: We have been making our kids cook one night a week. This is working very well since they are learning great skills as well as learning to eat new foods (since they made it). The rules are ---balanced meal (meat, starch, veggie or two), you cannot make the same dinner two weeks in a row, and clean as you go!
