Recipe: Blueberry Scones (using fresh blueberries)

BLUEBERRY SCONES

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup butter (plus additional for serving)
1 cup fresh blueberries
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp molasses

Combine first 4 ingredients in bowl and mix well with fork. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until coarse crumbs are formed.

Add blueberries and combined buttermilk and molasses. Stir well, then turn dough out on floured board and, to avoid crushing berries use hands to pat into 1/2-inch thickness. Cut in triangles and arrange on greased baking sheet.

Bake in preheated hot oven (450 degrees F), for 12 minutes, or until browned.

Serve hot with butter.

Makes about 10 scones
