Inspired
by a photo of a real simple shop front (taken by blythely jean) I
decided to enlist the help of my husband to make an item seen in this
picture (LOL) I was extremely excited when it was completed (tho the
"shop" diorama is still in progress) Hope to have better pix when we have better light! 
Gotta see it to believe it (LOL)
In between working on a sewing commission (Before getting busy again with a visitor from out of town this weekend woot) Okay I increased the butter this time and omg it's so flakey (In the good way) Ingredients 1 Cut butter into 1 cm cubes and pop back into the fridge to chill while you weigh out the other ingredients.
it's a HUGE scone granted 
(I made 4 HAHA!) We have a large box of
blueberries which we have to finish soon, so I tried out a recipe which
I found a while back on www.thisisnaive -- thanks tommy! (I'm not sure if it's still on the blog tho --oops)
50 g unsalted butter (I increased it 100% the rest remained the same)
200 g plain flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
30 g fine sugar
pinch of salt
90 ml whole milk
70 g blueberries
1 tbsp milk for glazing
2 Mix together flour and baking powder and sift.
3 Preheat oven to 200 deg celcius.
4 Place flour in a large bowl and add butter to flour. Rub with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
5 Add sugar and salt to the butter-flour mixture and mix through.
6 Mix blueberries and milk together and add to the bowl.
7 Bring the ingredients together quickly and gently without over-kneading.
8
On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat out the dough to 2 to 3 cm
thickness. Fold it in half then roll out the dough again to 3 cm
thickness.
9 Use a 4-cm circle cutter to cut out the scones. Gather together the remains and then cut out more scones.
10 Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush tops with milk.
11 Bake in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.
