I do my best to have freshly baked treats waiting for the guests when they arrive. If I am short I time, I stick to my home made chocolate chip cookies. But, when I have a little extra time, I LOVE baking something a little extra special.

I want to share with you this easy and SUPER DELICIOUS recipe I found for Lemon Blueberry Scones. Right now in Carlton, we have a little blueberry stand that has the best, local blueberries. I have been buying quite a few berries, then freezing what we don't eat so we can enjoy blueberry treats in the winter as well.

Lemon Blueberry Scones:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup lemon yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries*
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, combine the yogurt, egg and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned.
Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm scones.

Enjoy!
