Blueberry Scones
I had my first real British scone in the town of Grasmere in the Lake District of England. It was light, airy, and I ate it in the sunshine on an ancient stone patio surrounded by fragrant British roses. I love scones slathered in salty whipped butter, clotted cream, honey or freshly made salmonberry jelly. If you keep the basic recipe in mind the flavor combinations you can make are endless. In the summer they are great with fresh Alaskan berries, or in the winter they can be made with dried fruits and nuts. They are delightful at breakfast, scrumptious for an afternoon snack, or delicious for dessert. Usually when I make them, they end up being all three.
We are both born and raised in Alaska, land of the midnight sun and fishing at 2am. We love to find new ways to use fresh ingredients or put a modern spin on an old Alaskan classic. We hope you will enjoy tasting Alaska.
