Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 C Whole Wheat Flour
1/3 C Granulated White Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
3/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 C Unsalted Butter (cold and cut into small pieces)
3/4 C Rolled Oats
1/3 C Diced Dried Apple Rings (heaping)
2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
2/3 C Buttermilk
Coarse Sugar
Egg Wash:
1 Large Egg
1 Tbsp Milk

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place rack in center of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the butter and cut it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the oats, dried apples, and cinnamon. Mix until combined. Stir in the buttermilk and mix just until dough comes together. Add additional buttermilk if necessary. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead 4-5 times then pat or roll the dough into a circle about 7 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick. Cut this circle into 8 triangular sections and transfer to the baking sheet. Mix the egg and milk in a small bowl and brush over the tops of the scones. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a scone comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
