Blueberry Bumplings!

Food is a big deal around our house right now as we try to give the kids the tools they need to make good choices.  Yesterday we looked through a few of our cookbooks and Toad requested Blueberry Bumplings from the Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook, which we've made in the past.  I made a few modifications and the kids and I whipped them up this morning.  Here's the recipe, with modifications:

Blueberry Bumplings
The Cat's bumplings are plump things surprisingly like blueberry scones, just right for breakfast or snacking.

Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I substituted half whole wheat flour)
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz. butter, softened and cut into small pieces (I used Earth's Balance Buttery Sticks)
1/2 fresh blueberries
1 large egg
3/4 cup half-and-half (I used skim milk)

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the butter and mix well with your fingertips until crumbly, then add the fresh blueberries.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and the half-and-half, then quickly beat into the flour mixture.  Do not overwork.
4. Pat the dough out between sheets of wax paper until about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut into 2-inch squares, circles, or triangles.  *I just used the large Pampered Chef scoop and put them in drops onto the baking sheet, then flattened them slightly.
5.Place the cutouts on a baking sheet, non-stick or lined with parchment paper, and bake until golden on top, about 10 minutes.  Serve hot.
Makes about 12 bumplings.

I'm not crazy about the whole stick of butter, but they're a big hit with the whole family.  Super tasty!
