Time 30m

Yield 8 scones, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups rolled oats (4 1/2 ounces) or 1 1/2 cups quick oats
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (7 1/2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup granulated sugar (2 1/4 ounces)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread oats evenly on baking sheet and toast in oven until fragrant and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes; cool on wire rack. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Line second baking sheet with parchment paper. When oats are cooled, measure out 2 tablespoons and set aside.
  • Whisk milk, cream, and egg in large measuring cup until incorporated; remove 1 tablespoon to small bowl and reserve for glazing.
  • Pulse flour, cinnamon, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in food processor until combined, about four 1-second pulses. Scatter cold butter evenly over dry ingredients and pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, twelve to fourteen 1-second pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl; stir in cooled oats and raisins. Using rubber spatula, fold in liquid ingredients until large clumps form. Mix dough by hand in bowl until dough forms cohesive mass.
  • Dust work surface with half of reserved oats, turn dough out onto work surface, and dust top with remaining oats. Gently pat into 7-inch circle about 1 inch thick. Using bench scraper or chef's knife, cut dough into 8 wedges and set on parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush surfaces with reserved egg mixture and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes; cool scones on baking sheet on wire rack 5 minutes, then remove scones to cooling rack and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Serve.

Categories     Scones

Time 30m

Yield 8 scones, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons sugar (I use splenda granular)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons applesauce
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk (I use fat free milk)
1 egg (I use liquid egg whites)
1/3 cup raisins (or dried cranberries)
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, measure 1 3/4 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix together with a large spoon.
  • Melt butter and place in a medium bowl with the applesauce. Add milk, egg and raisins. Stir until ingredients are blended.
  • Add wet ingredients to flour mixture. Stir until dough forms into a ball.
  • Sprinkle the 3 tablespoons flour on a flat surface. Flour your hands well and move dough from bowl to surface. Knead the dough by using the heel of your hand to push the dough away from you. Then with your hands, pull the dough back toward you, folding over as you pull it. Repeat this for about 1 minute.
  • Place the kneaded dough on an ungreased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Pat the dough into an 8" circle. With a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect crumbly texture, use cold butter. The cold butter creates small pockets of steam as it melts, which results in a light and flaky scone.
  • Make sure the buttermilk is cold. Cold buttermilk helps keep the scones moist and tender.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If the dough is too dry, add more buttermilk or cream.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling the dough allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to handle.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with milk or cream before baking. This will give them a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or honey.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon raisin scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your scones turn out perfect every time. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these cinnamon raisin scones a try.
