Time 30m

Yield 12 scones, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • *Leave berries in the freezer until ready to toss with cornstarch.

I added a little bit of cinnamon to my scones and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend adding cinnamon if you like cinnamon scones.

I made these scones with frozen blueberries and they turned out great. I would definitely recommend using frozen blueberries if you don't have fresh blueberries on hand.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk next time.

These scones were absolutely delicious! I made them for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. The cornmeal gave them a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, and the blueberries added a burst of sweetness and tartness. I would definitely recommend this
