1/2-c rolled oats
1/2-c sugar
1/4-t salt

Muffins:

1 1/2-t baking powder
1/2-t salt
1/2-c softened butter
1-c sugar
2 eggs
1/2-c buttermilk
zest one lemon
1-t vanilla

Combine dry ingredients. Set aside. With electric mixer, beat butter until soft and fluffy.  Add sugar and beat 3 minutes.  Add eggs one at a time until incorporated.  Add buttermilk, vanilla and zest.  Remove bowl and add flour by hand.  Do not overmix.  Gently fold in blueberries and divide among prepared pans.  Sprinkle evenly with prepared crumbs.  Bake 22-25 minutes until tester comes out clean.  Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.

*Lemon glaze: Combine 1/4- c powdered sugar and 1-2 t fresh lemon juice until drizzle consistency.

2 C flour
1 T baking powder
1 t kosher salt
2 t sugar
1/2 C chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips)
3/4 – 1 C heavy cream

Preheat oven 425. Line baking sheet with parchment.

Combine dry ingredients. Add chips and toss to combine. Add 3/4 C cream and stir well. Add cream 1 t at a time until a soft manageable dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and kneed briefly until dough sticks together. Roll out to an 8-9” circle, 1” thick. Cut to desired size and shape. (NOTE: Scones may be wrapped, bagged, and frozen until ready for baking and eating.)

Brush with milk or cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake 15-18 minutes until bottoms are golden and top springs back. Allow to cool 5 minutes on wire rack before serving. (Scones are excellent plain, or add a topping for more sweetness or presentation.)
