• 8 Servings
• Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 cup cold butter
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened blueberries

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and orange juice just until moistened. Gently fold in blueberries.

Turn onto a floured surface; gently knead 10 times. Pat into an 8-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges. Separate wedges and place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 8 scones.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.
