Brunch Recipe

Cornmeal - Blueberry Scones
Made them for my RYS (after school program job) meeting tomorrow morning. That is a 1/2 cup of buttermilk, not 1 cup as I did on accident.
Anyway I'll let you know the verdict on how they taste tomorrow.

ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 1/3
    cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3
    cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2
    tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2
    tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4
    teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3
    cup cold butter, cut up
  • 1/2
    cup buttermilk
  • 1
    egg
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons finely shredded lime peel
  • 1
    cup frozen blueberries*
  • 1
    teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3 - 4
    teaspoons lime juice
  • 1
    cup powdered sugar
  • 3
    tablespoons chopped almonds, toasted

    1.Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
    2.In a large bowl combine flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in butter until flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in center. Combine buttermilk, egg, and peel; add all at once to flour mixture. Stir with a fork just until moistened.
    3.Toss berries with cornstarch to coat; add to flour mixture. Stir gently 3 to 5 turns, just until berries are incorporated (do not overmix). Using a large spoon, drop dough into 12 mounds on baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between mounds. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden. For icing, in a small bowl whisk enough lime juice into powdered sugar until drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm scones. Sprinkle with nuts. Serve warm. Makes 12 scones.
