I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the article, "Maine Attraction", that accompanied this recipe. It was written by Molly Wizenburg and I just didn't want it to end. Thankfully, I've learned that she has a book out that received rave reviews from Jennifer of Cooking For Comfort. Thanks to her recent post about some books she's read, I have some new books waiting for me at the library. Thanks, Jennifer!!
Anyway, Molly Wizenburg described these scones so enticingly well, that I knew I had to make them the moment I got my hands on some blueberries. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait very long.
I couldn't wait to bite into one of these scones and after letting them cool just a bit, I was not disappointed. I thought I might like them a little more on the sweet side, but they were perfect as they were.
The recipe calls for a little oatmeal and raw sugar to be sprinkled on before baking. Unfortunately, I forgot to do that because there was a duel going on in the kitchen at the time. It was an early, rainy morning and my boys were quite boisterous.
Vincent loved these and that just about floored me. Well...he wouldn't eat the blueberries, but he loved the "crust" around them. I made these again the next day (no pictures, unfortunately) and made 1/2 the batch with chocolate chips and the other half with more blueberries. This time, I remembered the extra oats and sugar. Delicious.

I LOVE socnes. I have a blueberry scone recipe that I put lemon zest in and then I roll them in Big chunks on sugar! Your scones look fantastic
These look so great! I want one with my coffee right now!
The scones look yummy! I'm glad they were a hit with Vincent!
I saw these in Bon Appetit. Nice to know that they are just as good as they looked in there. My husband is a big scone fan so I will try these out for him.
I'm so glad to hear you liked these! yours look wonderful even without the oats. I had put these on my list because the Cooks Illus. blueberry scones I was going to make had 1/4 stick of butter PER scone...that didn't exactly STOP me from wanting them, but I was hesitating! I enjoyed MW's book, hope you will too!
Ooo, look at that blueberry bursting out of the scone, yum! Chocolate chips? I like how you think!
They look wonderful Pam. I love scones and have never made any homemade ones. They are just so good with coffee.
I am actually working on a new blog called "Maine Attraction!" No posts on it just yet.
These scones look amazing! I LOVE blueberries!!!!
OH! I forgot to mention, I hope you enjoy her book....I sure hope she writes more books!!!!!
Forgive my obsessive commenting this evening! I JUST read the article. My husband and I just went on a vacation to Maine, we stayed at the sister inn to The Pomegranate...and now I'm sad that we didn't go to Standard Baking Company, nor did we go to the place that made the fries in the duckfat. I think I might need to go back....Hmmm.
I read Molly's book recently and would definitely recommend it. It's a good read! Your scones look terrific! I don't think I've ever made scones with oats. Yum!

I saw this article too and have these on my to-bake list. Now that you gave them your seal of approval I will definitely make them.
Beautiful scones! These are going in my try file! :)
Yes! I think I'll be making those pretty soon! Thanks for sharing! ...they look very good!
mmmmm - those look great.
It's funny, as I'm trying to post a comment, I'm breaking up a squabble between my two kids.
I've been wanting to make these. I'm glad they were a success!
I made these a while ago and thought they were excellent! I was wary about the sugar content too, but they were perfect. Enjoy "A Homemade Life," it's a great read with lots of yummy recipes.
Your scones look great, I think I may have to make some with the blueberries in my fridge! I'm reading Molly's book right now, and I love it. It is beautifully written - like the scone article - and the recipes sound amazing. I highly recommend it!
