This is our spring bank holiday this weekend, which means it's a long weekend for working people. I hear we are supposed to have some nice weather as well. I am loving these longer, brighter and warmer days!

I normally like to pull out all the stops for breakfast at the weekend. A leftover from my working days I suppose. I didn't have a lot of time during the week to make much of a cooked breakfast, so Saturdays usually meant I would do us something special.

Retirement means that every day is a bit of a holiday it seems, although in truth I don't know how I ever got everything I had to do done when I was working full time as my retirement time seems to just evaporate into thin air! I still reserve goodies like this for the weekend however . . . old habits die hard.

I saw something similar to this on Pioneer Woman Cooks a number of months back, but you know . . . yeast breads are truly not my forte, and I am rather lazy on top of it all, so I never did anything about it. I got to think though, I could really actually do something similar using buttermilk scone dough . . .

And so that is what I did. I created a flaky and light buttermilk scone dough, flavoured with a bit of fresh lemon zest . . . I rolled this out flat into a rectangle. I then rubbed butter, sugar and more lemon zest together until it was a bit crumbly. I sprinkled this over top of the dough . . .

I scattered fresh blueberries over top and rolled it all up tightly and cut it into thick slices which I placed into a butter glass baking dish, brushed with some more butter milk and then baked in a hot oven until the scone dough was all puffed up and golden brown and that lucious lemon and blueberry filling was just slightly oozing. Slathered with a lemon buttercream drizzle hot out of the oven it made a GORGEOUS breakfast bake. And to think . . . it didn't take hours of waiting for dough to rise or any such thing. Almost instant, pure taste gratification. You can spell that SCRUMMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS! That's almost like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, except its a whole LOT better. ☺ Tastier too!
