CHERRY-CHIP OAT SCONES
My family loves scones and anything with oatmeal. I started with my basic scone recipe and added oat flour to increase the oat taste and texture, then included special ingredients you can find in every bite. Look for add-ins that harmonize with the mellow flavor of oats. -Amy Brnger, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
