Blueberry Scones





3/4 cup cold buttermilk
2 Tbls brown sugar or honey
1 egg
2 cups flour (white wheat, whole wheat, or whole wheat pastry)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh, frozen, or dried)
sugar
cardamom

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the blueberries (if using frozen, bring them to room temperature and pat them dry). Add milk, brown sugar/honey, and egg, stirring just until moist.

Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until the dough is all together. Place on a baking sheet that is either greased, or lined with parchment. Form dough into an approximately 3/4" thick, 9-inch circle. Cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through.

Sprinkle cardamom and sugar on top. Bake until golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve warm.
