Yield Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg, beaten to blend
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup dried currants
1 large egg yolk, beaten to blend
Additional sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Flour large baking sheet. Blend first 6 ingredients in processor until oats are coarsely ground. Add butter; cut in using on/off turns until coarse meal forms. Transfer to bowl. Add beaten whole egg and buttermilk. Using fork, stir to incorporate. Mix in currants (dough will be sticky). Turn dough out onto floured surface. Using floured hands, shape dough into 8-inch round. Using floured 1 3/4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out scones. Gather scraps, reshape, and cut out more scones. Transfer to sheet. Brush tops with yolk. Sprinkle with additional sugar.
  • Bake scones until golden, about 18 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

These scones are amazing! I love the way the oats and currants give them a chewy texture. They're perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

I've tried a lot of scone recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The scones are light and fluffy, and the currants add a nice pop of flavor.

These scones were a disaster. They were flat and dense, and they didn't have any flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of scones, but these were really good! The currants added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the scones.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

Not a fan. The scones were dry and crumbly. I think I overmixed the dough.

Easy to make and delicious! I used fresh cranberries instead of currants and they turned out great. Will definitely make these again.

These scones were a hit with my family! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. The currants added a nice sweetness and tartness. I will definitely be making these again.
