Blueberry Basket Sampler-- A Summer Freebie

Good morning, Sweetie Pies! The biscuits are fresh out of the oven. 

Grab  you a cup of milk and a warm blueberry biscuit. They are scrumptious. 

And the berries are homegrown. 

Two weeks ago, I shared Aunt Betty's  at Blueberry Buckle Lane   (Quite a mouthful Huh!) 

I was quite smitten over the basket of blueberries so I took the basket motif and added a simple alphabet to create a wee sampler. 

I just plopped it into a 5 x 7 frame ; I haven't stretched it yet because I am still on the search for a smaller frame, but for now it will do. Isn't it cute?

How about a recipe?  I used my basic 3 ingredient  biscuit recipe to create the blueberry biscuits.  Usually I do not measure exactly so these are some rough measurements.  You could certainly add blueberries to your favorite recipe. 

Blueberry Biscuits

INGREDIENTS

2 cups of self rising flour 

1/4 cup of cold butter

about 3/4 cup of milk

3/4 cup of fresh blueberries

1/4 cup of sugar or sweeten to taste

ICING- 

1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar

3 Tablespoon lemon juice

1 Tablespoon of milk

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In medium bowl whisk flour and sugar. Cut in 1/4 cup of butter.  Add  1/2  to 3/4 cup of milk and lightly mix until the dough is the consistency that you like.  On a well floured surface, dump your dough out of the bowl and flatten  the dough into a rectangle . Place blueberries on top of the dough and fold the dough. Gently pat the dough out to desired thickness and cut biscuits out. DO NOT USE ROLLER.  Place in greased pan and bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown. 

ADDING ICING- Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice and milk until desired consistency.  Once the biscuits are baked, remove from the oven and allow them to slightly cool before adding the icing to the warm biscuits.

I had a sweet visitor yesterday or should I say she is a bandit. Lol. 🦝

I watched her crawl straight down the tree. I had never seen a raccoon scurry down the trunk of the tree before. Her little belly looked like it was making it a cumbersome task, but she made her way to the birdseed which had spilled from the feeder after my squirrels visited it.  I know a lot of people do not like raccoons because they can be very pesky, but living here in the holler - well I am used to them and besides I realize I am living in their area since I am surrounded by woods. I have named this little gal, Rhonda. 😀🤗🦝

Alrighty , ya'll. I am off to see what I can get into. Later today I will be posting August's doodle so if you have a chance drop by for a visit. 

Have a berry beautiful day, Sweeties and ...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
