Blueberry scones
2 cups flour (I used half whole wheat and half all-purpose)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
8 Tbsp unsalted butter (cold)
1/2 cup fresh, frozen or dried blueberried (I used frozen and they worked great)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 large egg
1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat over to 400 degrees.
2. Dump 1st 5 ingredients (through salt) in a food processor and pulse a few times to mix. Cut up butter and put in food processor and pulse until crumbled into the flour mixture. Dump in a medium bowl and stir in fruit.
3. In a small bowl whisk yogurt and egg until smooth. Using a fork, stir into the flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be very sticky.)
4. Place on a lightly floured surfact and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with 1 tsp of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper about 1 inch apart (they will get significantly bigger so make sure you space them out). Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
Variations:
Lemon-blueberry scones: Add 1 generous tsp lemon zest to the flour mixture.
Chocolate chip: Substitute 1/2 cup chocolate chips for the blueberries.
Cranberry-orange: Add 1 generous tsp orange zest to the dry ingredients and substitute cranberries for blueberries.
