Many years ago, in a cozy little home nestled on the outskirts of San Francisco, there lived a kind and gentle grandma called Mrs. Mariam. She was renowned throughout the town for her delicious blueberry scones that seemed to have a touch of magic in every bite. With a twinkle in her eye and a heart full of love, she would often bake these delightful treats for her grandchildren, filling their home with warmth and joy.
As the scent of fresh blueberries and buttery goodness wafted through the air, the grandchildren would eagerly gather in the kitchen, their eyes sparkling with excitement. It was a tradition they cherished dearly, and with every visit, they would sit around the old wooden table, eagerly awaiting the delightful surprise they were about to receive.
One sunny morning, young Rose, Mariam’s granddaughter, decided to learn the secret behind her grandma’s legendary blueberry scones. With an apron draped over her tiny shoulders, she stood beside her grandma, ready to embark on a baking adventure.
“Grandma, will you teach me how to make your magical blueberry scones?” Rose asked, her voice filled with anticipation.
Mariam smiled warmly, her eyes twinkling with delight. “Of course, my dear! Baking blueberry scones is a special tradition passed down through generations in our family. Let’s get started!”

Together, they gathered the ingredients – flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, salt, milk, and, of course, plump and juicy fresh blueberries. Rose gingerly measured each ingredient, taking in her grandma’s guidance with eagerness.
“Now, my secret ingredient,” Mariam whispered with a playful grin, holding up a small bottle of vanilla extract. “Just a few drops of this magic potion will make our scones even more enchanting.”
As they mixed the ingredients together, Rose marveled at the transformation of the dough. The kitchen filled with a heavenly aroma, and she couldn’t wait to taste the final creation.
“Once the dough is ready, we gently fold in the fresh blueberries,” Mariam instructed, her antique hands guiding Rose’s. “The key is to handle the dough with care, so the blueberries are evenly distributed, and the scones remain tender and light.”

SERVING BLUEBERRY SCONES
After carefully cutting the dough into eight triangular shapes, they placed the scones onto a greased baking tray. With a sprinkle of pink, coarse sugar on top, the scones were ready to go into the oven. The anticipation was almost too much to bear as they waited for the scones to rise and turn a golden brown. Grandma Mariam put the kettle on and made her Everyday Joy Assam Tea so that they can enjoy warm scones with a cup of tea.
Finally, the moment arrived. The scones were out of the oven, and the entire cottage was filled with a mouthwatering aroma.
“Here you go, my dear Rose,” Grandma said, presenting her with a warm blueberry scone. “This one is extra special, made with love,” she said with a smile as warm and tender as the scone itself.
Rose took a bite, and her eyes widened with delight. The scone was perfection – buttery, flaky, and bursting with sweet blueberry goodness. It was as if a little piece of happiness had found its way into her heart.

From that day on, baking blueberry scones became a cherished tradition for Rose and her grandma. They would spend many more afternoons together, laughing, baking, and creating cherished memories.
So, the next time you want to experience the magic of blueberry scones and fill your home with joy, follow Mrs. Mariam’s treasured recipe. And remember, every bite holds a piece of grandma’s love.
