BISQUICK BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the baking mix and sugar in a large bowl.
• Mix in the butter with your hands or a pastry blender until the butter is the size of peas.
• Beat the eggs well with the 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine until just blended. Do not over mix.
• Gently fold in the blueberries.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 3/4-inch thick square.
• Cut into 4 squares, then cut each square into 2 triangles.
• Arrange the scones on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool a bit before glazing.
• For Glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
• Pour evenly over the warm scones. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, blueberries and granulated sugar. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
• In small bowl, mix yogurt, almond extract, vanilla and egg until blended. Stir into crumb mixture with fork just until dough forms.
• Divide dough in half. With hands sprinkled with Bisquick mix, shape dough into 2 (6-inch) rounds about 3 inches apart on cookie sheet. Brush with whipping cream; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Using knife sprayed with cooking spray, cut each round into 6 wedges, but do not separate.
• Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Carefully separate wedges with knife. Serve warm.

GRANDMA JOHNSON'S SCONES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, blend the sour cream and baking soda, and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in the butter. Stir the sour cream mixture and egg into the flour mixture until just moistened. Mix in the raisins.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. Roll or pat dough into a 3/4 inch thick round. Cut into 12 wedges, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom.

BLUEBERRY SCONES WITH LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
• Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough.
• Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches.
• Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares.
• Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape.
• Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
• Technically you should make this simple lemon glaze in a double boiler (i.e. over a pot of simmering water with a heatproof bowl set on top) but it's even simpler to zap it in the microwave.
• Mix the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar together in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the lemon zest and butter.
• Nuke it for 30 seconds on high.
• Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones.
• Let it set a minute before serving.

LOW-FAT BLUEBERRY SCONES (USING HEART HEALTHY BISQUICK MIX)

Steps:

• NOTE: I make these scones using the "Bisquick Heart Healthy" lower fat product, but the nutrition content stated is for Standard Bisquick.
• In a large bowl, gently toss Bisquick Mix, sugar and blueberries. If you have a fresh lemon, you can also add 1 t. lemon ZEST for a great flavor boost. Set aside dry mixture.
• In a 1 cup measure, whisk milk and egg together.
• Pour liquids into Bisquick bowl and use a fork to mix things together gently. Use a large cookie scoop to portion out 8 dollops of dough onto parchment paper.
• Use wet fingers to flatten each scone slightly.
• Bake 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges are browning.
• Glaze: Mix lemon juice with Confectioners Sugar to achieve a thin consistency. Drizzle over cooled scones.
• NOTE: Due to low fat content, these probably won't freeze very well, so make them and eat them!
