Wicked Scones

This time next week I'll be back in my home state of Maine. In anticipation of my trip, I decided to bake a breakfast treat using a fruit that Maine is known for - blueberries. Most everyone seems to enjoy these tart little orbs, so how about adding some chocolate and carbohydrates? It will have you saying "these are wicked good!"

Combine the following ingredients in a large bowl:

2 1/4 cups of flour

2 tablespoons of baking powder

1 teaspoon of salt

1/4 cup of sugar

Now, dice 1/4 cup of chilled butter into pieces and add to mixture

Now, for the best part! 

Add 3/4 cup of white chocolate chips into mixture

Add 1 cup of fresh or thawed frozen blueberries into mixture

Drizzle 1 cup of buttermilk to mixture. Toss either with spoon or fingers until all ingredients are held together

Spread dough into a 9x9 square on a floured surface. Cut into thirds, then cut each third into three triangles

Place triangular dough pieces onto greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle sugar onto the tops of each piece and bake in a 375 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes.

While waiting for the dough to turn itself into eatable scones, start watching my favorite horror movie of all times, which just happens to be based off a book written by Maine author, Stephen King. The sink-into-your-seat thriller, The Shining will have you pleased you're home cooking, instead of vacationing in a winter-wonderland.

The finished result will be soft, sweet scones that anyone and everyone will enjoy at the breakfast table!
