blueberry elevenses


I wish I could take credit for these amazing looking blueberry scones... I cannot. My mum made them - and of course, because she made them, they're amazing. She bakes the most amazing cakes, but recently we've both been trying to be healthier, so there are only treats about when he friends come for coffee. The other day she made these blueberry scones and they were insanely good. Hot out of the oven with butter, an iced coffee and some strawberries... So freaking good.

I also wish I could tell you a recipe... I cannot, because my mum doesn't really do recipes. She can make the most amazing cakes, scones, bread, lasagnes, pizzas... all sorts of amazing things from scratch, but ask her exactly the proportions of whatever went in? Well, that is trickier. She doesn't cook anything she considers 'a faff'/uses more than two bowls/involves folding, using a bain-marie.. I could go on, but you get the idea. 

I can tell you that the recipe she uses is probably derived from a Delia recipe, once upon a time, because that is usually where they originate. And she used one whole pack of blueberries to make about a dozens scones. I really cannot tell you that much about them, really, but I just thought I'd tell you how much I enjoyed them!
