Blueberry Brown Sugar Scones

Mon, 2013-02-11 08:02 -- Jocelyn Green

Book 1 in the Cadence of Grace series, Be Still My Soul is an apt title for the book, which had my own heart pounding, stirring, and breaking for the characters. Joanne Bischof shines as a master wordsmith, painting vivid scenes textured with all five senses. This alone, makes it worth the read, but the story will sweep you away as much as its Appalachian setting. Not your run-of-the-mill romance, this one stands out for its realistic, broken characters and the strains of redemption and grace that run throughout this absorbing tale of how God works through a shotgun wedding between Gideon and Lonnie. For more about the book, click here. (It's even available in large print!) Great news-book 2 in Joanne's Cadence of Grace series is almost here, too! For a glimpse into Though My Heart is Torn, click here. The cover is just gorgeous! Today I am excited to offer one of Joanne's delicious recipes for everyone.

Lonnie's Blueberry Brown Sugar Scones
 
2 c. Flour 4 Tsp Baking powder 1 tsp Salt 1/2 c. Brown sugar + more for sprinkling 6 Tbsp Butter 3/4 c. Half and half or heavy cream 1 Egg 1/2 c. Dried blueberries
Mix dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients. Using two knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it's the size of peas. Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix gently. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, or drop by spoonfuls into a scone pan. Sprinkle scones with brown sugar and bake at 375 for 15 to 17 minutes. Enjoy with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!

Joanne has several fantastic recipes on her Web site, by the way, including one for Moonshine Pecan Pie with Butterscotch!
