Breakfast Scones!

I am a sucker for all things bread, and scones are definitely one of my favorite breakfast foods to make! I found this basic recipe on Skinnytaste, one of my favorite food blogs, and fell in love. You can easily substitute the blueberries for any fruit of your choosing. I made these with fresh strawberries one Sunday morning and it was heavenly!

Ingredients: 
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup frozen butter
3/4 cups light buttermilk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup fresh blueberries


Preheat the oven to 400°.

In a large bowl, mix
all the dry ingredients. Using the large holes of a cheese grater, grate the frozen butter into the flour. Mix well with flour. In a medium bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg and vanilla. Using a fork, slowly stir in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, until all the mixture is moistened. Fold in the blueberries.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop large spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet (do not press or compact). Bake in the center rack 18 minutes. Remove and let them cool about 5 minutes before eating.
