One of our family's favorite breakfast foods! Great for freezing!!!
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup splenda, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a food processor, chop butter. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture. Mix.
Add remaininng flour mix and pulse until mixture looks course.
In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
Add sour cream mixture into flour mix and pulse until clumps. Remove from food processor. Use hands to press into a ball. Continue pressing until dough is evenly saturated. Add blueberries and gently work through dough. (May have to flour hands to prevent sticking).
Place on a lightly floured surface and pat until 1 inch thick. (If desired, brush with egg whites and sprinkle with 2- 3 TBSP coarse ground sugar). Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 triangles; place on the lined cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven when golden and top appears "crispy". Cool for 5 minutes. Best when served warm, but can be served at room temperature. Easily frozen for a quick "reach for" breakfast./snack- Just thaw via the microwave and serve...
