VeggieConverter’s Note: Blueberry lemon scones? Yes, please! Don’t mind if I do. Made by my kid and not me? Even better.
If you aren’t familiar with scones, you crazy. Just kidding, mostly . . .
Scones are basically biscuits and are often filled with delicious fruity goodness. Bug decided, presumably with a little help from Bjou, that she’d go for Blueberry Lemon, for her first venture into Sconeland.
When we were at Wimbledon Village. . .Let me just repeat that for funsies. When we were at Wimbledon Village. Ahh, memories.
We ate at a lovely little cafe, called the Ivy Cafe and enjoyed an English tea service that included sultana fruit scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. They were delicious. But, you know, I prefer blueberries over sultanas. So these are way better.
So, you know, let’s get to Bug’s tasty, tasty recipe for scones.
