3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup sugar (may sub Splenda)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

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.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup milk
1 egg, beaten to blend
1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease cookie sheet. Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Mix together butter, milk and egg in another bowl. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Mix in raisins. Shape dough into ball.
  • Place on lightly floured work surface. Pat out to form 3/4-inch-thick circle. Using sharp knife, cut into 12 wedges. Transfer to prepared cookies sheet. Bake until light brown, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly on rack. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool completely. Store in airtight container.)

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter creates flaky layers in the scones. Grate the butter into the flour mixture or use a pastry blender to cut it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients until just combined, then shape the dough and cut it into scones.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and makes the scones easier to handle. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the scones at a high temperature: A high oven temperature helps the scones to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust. Bake the scones at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm from the oven. Split them in half and spread with butter, jam, or cream.

Conclusion:

Scottish oat scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these classic scones at home. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, Scottish oat scones are sure to be a hit.
