Lemon Blueberry Scones

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup butter, softened

• zest of 1 lemon

• 1/2 cup milk

• 3/4 cup fresh blueberries

In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar to combine.  Add zest, berries, milk, and butter.  Mix well, (using your hands to mix is easiest).

Form dough into 6 to 8 rounds and flatten slightly.  Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, (if desired, brush with milk, and top with a sprinkle of sugar.)

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 13-15 minutes or until golden.

Enjoy!
