This is my Aunt's recipe and one of my all-time favorites!2 C flour
1/2 C sugar
1 T baking powder
1 tsp grated orange peel (use a microplane)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/3 C crisco (I substitute half of this for butter)
3/4 C buttermilk
1 egg beaten
3/4 C frozen blueberries
TOPPING:
3 T melted butter
3 T sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
grated nutmeg
1. In mixing bowl, blend together 1st 6 ingredients.
2. Cut in crisco until small crumbles.
3. Add buttermilk and egg and fold together.
4. Pour out onto WELL-FLOURED surface and knead until manageable but still a little sticky.
5. Fold in blueberries.
6. Press out until about 1" thick and cut into 2" squares. A pizza cutter works well.
7. Place on ungreased baking sheet at least 1" apart and bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes. Watch closely so they don't burn!
8. While baking, mix topping to be spread over tops as soon as they come out of the oven.
NOTE: This recipe is almost like a biscuit or muffin. If you like a drier scone, add a little more flour.
