Eggless Wholewheat Blueberry Scones

Scones are British quick bread which is of Scottish origin. British traditional afternoon tea consists of a collection of sandwiches, scones, jam and clotted cream. This is the first time I baked scones and absolutely loved it with my tea and also as a quick breakfast. They are delicious hot or cold. I substituted Wheat flour for regular AP flour and made it egg-less using flax seed meal.
