Ingredients




2 cups flour
 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup cold butter cut into chunks
Strudel topping:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

1 In a bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Cut in the chunks of butter with a pastry knife (I don't have one so I used 2 knives).  It should be crumbly in texture.  Gently fold in the blueberries.  In a measuring cup mix together the egg, milk and vanilla.  Pour into dry ingredients and with a fork combine just until it forms a dough.  You don't want to over mix it because you are going to turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it 5 or 6 times to incorporate everything. 2 Roll it into a ball and press it down.  Brush a little milk on the top and top with the strudel topping - or omit if you want to cut calories. 3 Strudel Topping - mix together all ingredients to form a crumb mixture 4 Cut it in half, then half again and so on until you get 8 triangles. 5 Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 18-20 minutes on a parchment lined baking sheet.

About


I had some fresh blueberries kickin it in the fridge that just didnt make it into cererals or oatmeal.  I wanted something different than a muffin and I had never made scones before....so this was the first attempt and have to say they turned out fantastic!
