Blueberry Scones

“These are not the traditional dry scone but more of a buttery cookie style scone.  My kids love them.”

At Christmas I bake these with orange zest and fresh cranberries and make them a little bigger for tea or breakfast treats.  I’ve also substituted fresh currants before. Basically almost any fruit with a skin would work.
