Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze

Okay, so this isn't really otaku or even Japan-related. But scones are wonderful delicious little treats, so don't complain! I've been reading Diana Wynne Jones's House of Many Ways aloud to my parents lately, and there is so much mention of Afternoon Tea, crumpets dripping with butter, and Mr. Baker's amazing pasties that I couldn't take it anymore. I spent a good twenty minutes looking online for vegan scone recipes. I'm not vegan, but I can't do dairy. Unfortunately, everyone seemed to post healthy vegan recipes. What's with the craze for healthy?? When I eat a scone it's for the yummy flavor. So, I tore apart about three recipes, pieced the best bits together, and added a few tweaks of my own. Here's the patchwork result. Oh, and there's no reason why you have to stick with non-dairy. Go ahead and use real butter and milk if you prefer. That being said, these scones are truly decadent as-is.

Which Is the First of (Hopefully) Many Recipes

Anyone who knows me knows I have a mild addiction to tea. That may be putting it mildly. During the winter months in Charlottesville and Boston this year, I found myself consuming record-breaking (for me, at least) quantities, sometimes in the realm of 15 cups a day. It was a great way to stay warm and an even better way to procrastinate from writing. It's entirely possible that my roommates mistook a teacup for an extension of my hand, since I was very rarely without one.
