Just made the scones, very tasty. The batter seemed a little dry so I added a couple tablespoons of heavy cream. I had fresh blueberries but did throw them in freezer for about 30 minutes as I didn’t know if it would affect the recipe that specifically called for frozen berries. I loved the bite of lime, it adds a nice touch. It was a good way to use the entire lime both the zest and juice for the scones and icing. They came out great, I’ve eaten 2 for breakfast, and already gave one to my neighbor. Guaranteed I’ll be eating one more before the day is done!

Best ever! The BEST! I used polenta, dark brown sugar, mixed raspberries and blueberries and added finely chopped fresh rosemary.

Terrific flavor in these scones! The lime is a perfect counterpoint to the blueberries and buttermilk. I had been looking for a good cornmeal scone after having one in a cafe, and I think I found the one.
I did run into a one problem, however. The dough was pretty stiff and didn’t hold together when the frozen blueberries were added. Since I hadn’t made this recipe before, I didn’t want to add more buttermilk at that point. I tried using an ice-cream scoop, which helped, but it was a race against time while the blueberries were still frozen. Ultimately I put all the batter in an 8″ buttered iron skillet, which worked out fine. After baking and icing, storing them for a while in a covered container made them more moist. So in the end, great scones, thanks for posting this recipe!

Instead of the icing I would add the touch of lime to honey and drizzle that over them.
