If you like scones, try this recipe with some freshly picked wild blueberries and pure maple syrup. They will melt in your mouth! We are fortunate to have these bushes right in our front yard.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 + cup milk
1 cup wild fresh or dried blueberries (these will be smaller than cultivated berries)
Sift dry ingredients into large bowl. Cut butter into slices and add to bowl. Mix until fine with pastry blender. Add maple syrup and 1/3 cup milk. Mix until able to handle, add more milk if necessary. Do not over handle. Stir in blueberries. Form into circle on greased baking sheet or on parchment paper. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. When scones are cooling make maple glaze.
Maple Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2+ Tablespoon water
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
While still barely warm, spread scones with maple glaze and enjoy with milk, coffee or tea.
