365 Days of Marcie: January 13, 2010

On Christmas Day I was asked to bring some kind of muffins or bread that would go well with brunch. I had made banana bread a few times before, but really wanted to give something new a shot!

Google is my new best friend. I Google just about everything these days! So, being that I needed a fabulous new recipe, I jumped on Google and searched away in hopes to find that perfect recipe. I decided I wanted to use blueberries. I found recipes for muffins, breads, pancakes and...SCONES! I love scones!

Then, of course, I decided I wanted them to be "low-fat". I typed in "low-fat blueberry scones" and came up with this recipe.

1 1/2 cups Bisquick Baking Mix (Heart Healthy)

2 tbsp sugar (can you sugar substitute)

1 cup blueberries

1 egg

3 tbsp milk (I sometimes add a little more if it looks like it needs it)

1) In a large bowl, mix Bisquick Mix, sugar and blueberries. If you want to add some lemon, you can add 1 tsp lemon zest for a great flavor boost. Set aside dry mix.

2) Whisk milk and egg together

3) Pour liquids into Bisquick bowl and use a fork to mix gently together.

4) Use a spoon to portion out 8 dollops of dough onto a greased pan, flatten each scone slightly with fingers.

5) Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges are browning

I swear, they are so easy to make and they are so good! They aren't too sweet at all, which I love because I am not a fan of sweet stuff, especially in the morning.

I usually double the recipe because 8 are just not enough. One thing I have noticed is that they do not save well once they are cooked. I have put them in a plastic bag before and left on the counter and had leftovers for a few days. But, I wouldn't suggest anymore than two days.

However, the mix saves perfectly so you can make a bunch, like I do when I double the recipe, cover the remaining mix and put it in the fridge and make some fresh ones each morning. They are much better served warm! Yummmmm!
