Preparation

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

  3. Lightly stir in milk. Do not over mix. *
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  5. Knead in the frozen blueberries just until evenly blended. Pat dough into a square, 3/4-inch thick.
  6. With a sharp knife cut into 12 rectangles. Place 1-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  7. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from sheet to cool on a wire rack.
