Blueberry Brown Sugar Scones

Book 1 in the Cadence of Grace series, Be Still My Soul is an apt title for the book, which had my own heart pounding, stirring, and breaking for the characters. Joanne Bischof shines as a master wordsmith, painting vivid scenes textured with all five senses. This alone, makes it worth the read, but the story will sweep you away as much as its Appalachian setting. Not your run-of-the-mill romance, this one stands out for its realistic, broken characters and the strains of redemption and grace that run throughout this absorbing tale of how God works through a shotgun wedding between Gideon and Lonnie. For more about the book, click here. (It's even available in large print!) Great news-book 2 in Joanne's Cadence of Grace series is almost here, too! For a glimpse into Though My Heart is Torn, click here. The cover is just gorgeous! Today I am excited to offer one of Joanne's delicious recipes for everyone.

Lonnie's Blueberry Brown Sugar Scones

2 c. Flour 4 Tsp Baking powder 1 tsp Salt 1/2 c. Brown sugar + more for sprinkling 6 Tbsp Butter 3/4 c. Half and half or heavy cream 1 Egg 1/2 c. Dried blueberries

Mix dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients. Using two knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it's the size of peas. Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix gently. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, or drop by spoonfuls into a scone pan. Sprinkle scones with brown sugar and bake at 375 for 15 to 17 minutes. Enjoy with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!

Joanne has several fantastic recipes on her Web site, by the way, including one for Moonshine Pecan Pie with Butterscotch!

I do so love Joanne's page. I have liked it.

Jen, so sweet of you to pop into my website and learn those things. :) So glad you've entered in the giveaway!

I liked your page also Jocelyn.

I already liked Joanne's FB page.

I liked your FB page! :)

Thanks for all the entries, Jen! So glad to have you here.

I learned that Joanne has days just like I do. This particular day happened for her on February 4th. A day that she cried a lot! A day where she suffered one hurt after another. A day she felt vulnerable. A day she felt human. A day she felt empy. A day she felt like she was standing in the middle of a storm. I too have been there. I felt honored that she would share that with her readers. Blessings! Judy B judyjohn2004(at)yahoo(dot)com

Judy, yes, I saw that post, too. So touching and reassuring. I love her messages of hope!

Judy ~ You are such a dear to have read that post and for your sweet words. It was a moment near and dear to my heart and I hope it blesses you as you have blessed me! Thanks for vising here for the beautiful giveaway Jocelyn put together. Such a joy to get to chat with you!

Hmmmm.....what did I learn from Joanne's site? The fact that I can't wait to read Though My Heart is Torn...... I 'liked' both Joanne and your Facebook pages. :) Be Still My Soul is a book that will truly touch your soul.........bravo Joanne!

Hi Debbie, I am right there with you! Just finished Book 1 not long ago, and I'm chomping at the bit for the next one! Very moving depictions of grace.

Hi dear Debbie! Who's book should be here any day and I can't wait to get it to you ;) So glad you entered in for the goodies here and so thankful for all your encouragement, always!

From visiting Joanne's website, I learned that she has a sense of humor! "enjoys making messes with her home schooled children" Love that

Hi Connie, I love that about Joanne, too! With a four-year-old and six-year-old in my house, I can relate to the messes--but there's nothing like having a one-year-old to really make a child's presence in the home known! :)

Connie, Thank you! That sense of humor gets me through the day ;) As do these 3 little ones. So fun to get to chat with you here!

I already liked Joanne's FB page.

I have already liked your page as well!

I have been an avid reader since childhood. Books were my escape from a dysfunctional and hurtful world to a land of wonder. Where people loved one another. I liked Joanne's FB page months ago, she's a California girl like me, as i grew up in San Diego :). I love finding books written so well, and with integrity!

So sorry to hear of your painful childhood. I agree that finding books like Joanne's, books that aren't afraid to address the hurt yet still offer hope, are wonderful!

Debi, so great to meet another California girl :) I'm sorry, too, to hear of the hurtful childhood. Amazed to hear about how you found refuge in books and how they are dear to you :) If you get the chance to read, Be Still My Soul, I hope it encourages you.

I learned that I can't wait to make blueberry brown sugar scones! And I'd love to win!

Sounds great, Ann! Thanks for all your entries! So happy to have you here.
