Blueberries starting to ripen.

Too many blueberries?
One of many issues my dad is understood for is overloading any recipe with blueberries. When he makes this Blueberry Snack Cake for instance, he says he solely wants sufficient cake to carry the berries collectively!
I hate to disagree, however that isn’t at all times a good suggestion. Too many blueberries in a cake can have an effect on the rise.
The identical is true for this recipe. Though expensive outdated dad would add extra, I experimented and selected 1 1/2 cups as the perfect quantity.

Substances
- 3 cups flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup evaporated milk, undiluted
- 1 1/2 cups recent or frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
For the vanilla glaze
- 2/3 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 1 tbsp milk, roughly
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- I begin these in my meals processor as a result of it’s so quick however they are often made simply as simply in a big bowl by slicing the butter in with a pastry blender or simply rubbing it into the dry components utilizing your arms like Nan did.
- In a meals processor, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Reduce within the butter till combination resembles a rough meal.
- Switch to a big bowl.
- Make a nicely within the heart of the dry combine.
- Combine collectively the lemon juice, vanilla and milk. Pour into the nicely and blend solely sufficient to nearly type a dough ball.
- Simply earlier than the dry components are fully included within the dough add the blueberries. (frozen berries particularly have to go in on the final minute or they are going to soften and bleed color via the tea buns. They will style simply pretty much as good, however not as fairly.)
- Roll to 1 inch thickness and minimize out buns with biscuit cutter and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 375 levels F for 20-25 minutes or till golden brown.
- Baking time will range relying on the scale of your biscuit cutter. This recipe makes 16 tea buns.
To make the vanilla glaze
- Merely combine collectively the components till easy with no icing sugar lumps.
- The glaze needs to be thick however nonetheless pourable. Whether it is too thick add slightly extra milk, whether it is too skinny, add slightly extra icing sugar to convey it to the right consistency.
- I prefer to make the glaze in a small shallow ramekin, which makes dipping the tops of the scones within the glaze fairly straightforward.
- Let the glaze set for a half hour or so earlier than serving.
Notes
- Solely use actual butter on this recipe. Substitutes may cause points with sticky dough and so on.Â
- Make sure that your floor is nicely floured earlier than you drop the dough onto it, you may sprinkle slightly flour on prime earlier than you from it right into a circle to roll out. The objective is to maintain the dough as gentle and unworked as doable.
- I often sprinkle on flour and fold the dough solely about 3 occasions. So, when you can add extra flour whereas working the dough into form, do not overdo it or your raisin can be much less gentle and tender.
- Don’t roll them too skinny; by no means thinner than 1 to 1 1/2 inches. The bigger the buns the thicker I have a tendency to chop them.
- Be sure you oven is nicely preheated and use aluminum bakeware when doable. Metal/alloy pans can carry warmth too rapidly and like they do typically with cookies, unfold wider on the pan earlier than they get the possibility to raise
- When you do not need to bake these on a cookie sheet, you may bake them in a 9×13 pan, identical to my grandmother did with raisin buns. This methodology will produce break aside tea buns that rise only a bit extra as a result of they assist themselves as they rise. Chances are you’ll want a number of extra minutes baking with this methodology.
