I know, I wasn't thinking. I was doing. Doing things for the kids. Doing work. Doing and going, and moving, and doing without thinking. And when I did have a minute, I watched Netflix to numb the pain of "constant doing".
So what better time to break the cycle than the end of Fall and the height of baking season?
I've baked so many things this season, but my proudest moment so far has been these blueberry scones.
I used a recipe that I found earlier on. I remember tasting a batch of scones that my neighbour baked and trying to recreate them. I remember the bitter metallic taste that I couldn't reproduce batch after batch. After two batches of scones.. I took a break from baking.
So, now I'm back. And found that the best way the get that metallic bitter taste that makes scones soooo good!
Baking Pow(d)er!
3 C flour
3/4 C butter (frozen for 5 - 10 mins, then grated)
1 C buttermilk
1.5 C blueberries
5 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Steps:
- set the oven to 400F
- mix well all dry ingredients together in a large bowl
- grate the frozen butter into the bowl on top of the dry ingredients
- use fingers to incorporate butter with flour until a large dough forms
- roll out the dough into a large rectangle shape on a floured surface
- sprinkle blueberries throughout, then roll up the dough like a jelly roll, then flatten so that the blueberries are trapped
- cut into desired shapes
- bake for 18-20 minutes. Do not overbake.
I have to admit, I actually wrote this post months/ like a year ago but for some weird reason didn't post it? What doesn't make sense!
