These scones are wonderful and since I was craving them this morning I baked a batch for breakfast. They are quick and easy so double the recipe and tuck some in the freezer for later.
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour - sifted
1 cup rolled oats - uncooked
1/3 cup sugar (I suppose you may be able to substitute Splenda but I did not)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (As always I used "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Cube)
1 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. (I just use my hands. I find them the best tools) Add the buttermilk and stir with a fork until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured board and knead 10 to 12 times. Roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into rounds with biscuit cutter, or pat dough into circle and cut in to wedges (for some reason I always like wedges).
Place on baking sheets and brush the tops with a bit of buttermilk. I sprinkle the tops of mine with a wee bit of sugar.
Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until light brown. Remove from baking sheets and cool.
