Blueberry Drop Scones image

These are pretty easy and moderately healthy. I usually prefer triangles, but these are too sticky for that. Instead of adding flour, I make them drop scones. They aren't terribly sweet, so you may want to increase sugar to 1/2 cup. In trying to make a healthier version, I opt for a bit less. Also, it's fine to use only ap flour.

Time 30m

Yield 8 scones, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons dry buttermilk
4 tablespoons butter (frozen and then cut into 1 inch pieces)
3/4 cup water
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Using a pastry blender or your fingers, add butter and mix until lumps of butter are no larger than pea-sized clumps.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg, water, vanilla and then add to the flour mixture, being careful to avoid overmixing.
  • Gently fold in blueberries, especially if using fresh, as they will bleed considerably.
  • Drop about 1/4 cup sized scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for about 10-15 minutes.
