Cran Oat Scones

List of Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 6 T sugar
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 10 T cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pstry blender, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the dough is crumbly. Fold in the cranberries. Add the buttermilk and stir lightly with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together to form a ball. (The dough will be sticky, but resist the temptation to overwork it.)
- On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a large circle about 2" thick. Cut the dough into wedges. With a spatula, transfer the wedges to a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for 22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Best served warm and on the day they are made.
Final Comments
*You can also brush the tops of the scones with cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking to add a little crunch and some extra sweetness.
