Preparation / Directions:
Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, orange peel, salt and soda in a
large mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a
well in the center of the dry ingredients. Stir together buttermilk, eggs
and vanilla. Add to flour mixture all at once. Stir with a fork just until
moistened. Gently stir in the blueberries. Turn out dough onto a lightly
floured board. Quickly knead dough by folding and pressing gently 12 to 15
strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Pat dough
into a 7 inch circle on a greased baking sheet. Cut into 10 wedges. Bake in
a 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden. Remove to a wire rack
to cool while you prepare the icing. Drizzle with icing and serve warm.
