	Blueberry Scones

	Scones have traditionally been served with afternoon tea, although they have recently found their way onto the breakfast table. In this recipe, we have replaced the heavy cream with lowfat yogurt. Scones are best when served warm – try them with your favorite jam! Ingredients: 1 cup white flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 tablespoon baking soda 1 1/4 cups plain yogurt 1 cup blueberries, frozen Glaze: 3 tablespoons butter, melted 2 tablespoons granulated sugar Directions: Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Combine the flours, baking powder and soda, salt and sugar in a bowl, stirring with a fork to mix well. Add in the yogurt and frozen blueberries and continue to stir with a fork. The dough will become very sticky, and will hold together in a rough mass. Lightly flour a cutting board and transfer the dough to it. Knead the dough 5 or 6 times and form into a circle about 10 inches around. For the glaze, spread the butter over the top and the sides of the circle, and sprinkle sugar on top. Cut the circle into twelve wedges and place each wedge on a non-stick cookie sheet, allowing about an inch between pieces. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Your body is like an engine that needs fuel to run, and in the morning the tank is just about empty. Breakfast can help with both mental and physical energy so don’t forget to make time for this important meal. There are lots of breakfast options that are quick and still healthy. These blueberry scones can be made in advance, frozen and popped out a few at a time for a tasty and quick breakfast on the go. A good breakfast option incorporates foods from 3 of the 5 food groups: dairy, grains and fruit. And, you can’t beat the combination of blueberries and yogurt. They taste great together and contain various vitamins and minerals to keep your engine in good working order. When it’s time to fuel up in the morning, have a scone or two with a glass of low or non-fat milk. You can even add on a piece of fresh fruit or orange juice too. The combination will help keep you going strong throughout the morning.
