If you are looking for something delicious to do with some blueberries, blueberry scones are a nice idea. I've made this recipe a few times, and they are a real treat. I like to serve them with some lemon butter, and that flavor combination just makes me melt. I use fresh blueberries in this recipe, but I do freeze them so that they are easier to work with and less likely to give you bright purple scones.
Blueberry Scones:
Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
150gr blueberries
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
150gr blueberries
Method
Preheat oven to 200C. Spray a shallow 20cm round pan with some non-stick spray.
Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Pour in enough buttermilk to mix to a sticky dough - you may not need the full 1 ¼ cups of buttermilk, so take it slowly. Fold in blueberries.

Gently knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth. Use hand to flatten out dough to about 3cm thick. Cut 8 5.5cm rounds from dough. Place rounds, slightly touching, in prepared pan.
Bake, uncovered, in hot oven about 20 minutes or until browned lightly.
I wish it were summer here, that sounds lovely!
