Family Hack of the Week

Winter is the perfect season for baking. These Blueberry Scones courtesy of Taste of Home are a perfectly delicious afternoon treat.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking sheet with baking spray.

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons sugar, 4-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk 2 large eggs (room temperature) and 3/4 cup whole milk. Add milk mixture to crumb mixture until just moistened.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead in 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries. Pat into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons milk.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until scones are golden brown on top. Enjoy warm with a cup of tea.
