Blueberries Scones
This is a lightly sweetened scone recipe, it should be British. In Hungary, we can find "pogácsa" which is very similar and always savoury with toppings like cheese. While Scone is mostly pronounced rhyming with 'gone' or 'tone', I tend to say it more with the north of England way, that is rhyming with 'gone'.
