• Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Mix in sugar.

If necessary, rub mixture between your fingers to break it down a bit more. Add blueberries and toss to distribute evenly. Stir buttermilk into dry mixture and stir just until dough is moistened.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, for 5 or 6 turns. Pat or roll the dough out into a 1 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut dough into 4 equal rectangles. Cut each small rectangle diagonally into triangles. Transfer scones onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk, and sprinkle with a pinch of demerara sugar.

EASY BLUEBERRY SCONES (FROZEN OR FRESH BERRIES)

Steps:

• Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Sift 1 to 2 times.
• In a small bowl mix eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla together. Set aside.
• Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Sift 1 to 2 times. Then add the cold grated butter. With a pastry cutter or fork, work the butter into the flour until small crumbs are formed. The flour should have a crumbly consistency.
• If Using Fresh Berries: toss them in with the flour mixture. Then make a well in the middle of the butter/flour mixture and pour in the wet mixture. If Using Frozen Berries: First make a well in the middle of the butter/flour mixture and pour in the wet mixture. Begin to mix a fork. Once it looks about halfway mixed, sprinkle the frozen berries over the dough mixture.
• With a fork or danish dough whisk, mix gently until all the ingredients are incorporated. Form into a disk about 2 inches tall. and cut into 8 wedges. You can also form into a rectangle, cut in half into two squares and then cut those two squares in half diagonally and then again to give you 8 wedges.
• Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet about a 1/2 inch apart. Place in the freezer for at least 10 minutes or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the scones are hard to the touch.
• Bake in 400° F preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until lightly brown. Just before baking, brush the scones with a little cream and a sprinkle of raw, turbinado sugar or coarse sugar if you like. It adds sparkle and a sweet little crunch. You can also drizzle these scones with a glaze. Mix a little lemon juice with some powdered sugar and mix until there are no lumps left. Drizzle over the scones after they have cooled for at least 5 minutes. They can be warm but not hot or the glaze will melt off the scone. Enjoy!
