Time 37m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
6 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry 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 inches 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.

1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups rolled oats

1/3 cup milk

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the oatmeal and cranberries. You may need to use your fingers to be sure the cranberries are all separated.
Whisk together the egg, butter and milk then add the mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix together just until the dry ingredients are moistened. The dough will be sticky.
Transfer the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet and pat into a circle about 3/4 inches (2 cm) thick. Sprinkle liberally with sugar and score the top into eight wedges.

Time 35m

Yield 12 scones, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter (have used Vegan margarine with good results)
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup sugar (may sub Splenda)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins (I have subbed these out with dates and dried cranberries in the past)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt (may use soy with good results)
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat and cook until it begins to turn light brown, about 2 minutes. Skim foam and pour into a small bowl.
Stir together oats, flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in raisins and make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Combine the browned butter, egg, yogurt and oil in a small bowl; add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead several times to form a ball. Pat the ball into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 or 12 wedges (depending on the size you want).
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and bake until lightly browned and firm to the touch, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly. Serve warm.
