Blueberry Scones
If you're not familiar with Scones, they're somewhere between English Muffins and Croissants. They're kind of the flavorful love-mistake of English Muffins and Croissants, actually. Biscuity triangles of flaky dough full of baked fruit.
In addition to being all of the aforementioned, they're also the official tea-time snack of haughty noblewomen. Anyone who laughs while half-covering their mouth and releasing a noise akin to "Uwahawhawhawhaw," "Fufufufufu," "Hmhmhmhmhm," or "Kyahahahaha-!" probably has a natural affinity for Scones.
Emily has never had a scone, and Shawn has exclusively had Lemon (though he also asserts that is was "fuckin' delicious.") and as such, I'd figured it's about time that I sat down and got to making some to give to them. This was my first time making them - I kind of did a test-fire after the fact. You see, any time I work with dough there's a distinct risk of me getting flour everywhere, and sometimes I don't feel like cleaning up twice and I just want to be done with it; such are the woes of baking. The blueberries I bought for this were not only twice the price of cheapskate "Blueberry-Infused Cranberries," and I only got half a cup of them, while I'm assuming I got about two cups of "Blueberry-Infused Cranberries" for my two bucks. I digress. Basically, I got all prepped-up to make some cranberry ones to see how they'd turn out and then I got skeptical of my want to clean afterwards, so I made the blueberry ones - these ones- first.
...Then it started to snow and I thought my little sister could use a warm after-school snack. I promptly buckled and made the cranberry ones, too. She liked them.
Anyways, I just used a "wing it" adaptation of This recipe to make my scones.
Give it a shot if you're a fan of British people, tea, or Scarlet from Final Fantasy VII.
Kyahahahaha-!
