MAPLE-OATMEAL SCONES

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats, plus additional for sprinkling
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk or water, for egg wash
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flours, oats, baking powder, sugar and salt. Blend the cold butter in at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Combine the buttermilk, maple syrup and eggs and add quickly to the flour-and-butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough may be sticky.
  • Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface and be sure it is combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into 3-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are crisp and the insides are done.
  • To make the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. When the scones are done, cool for 5 minutes and drizzle each scone with 1 tablespoon of the glaze. I like to sprinkle some uncooked oats on the top, for garnish. The warmer the scones are when you glaze them, the thinner the glaze will be.

WHOLE-WHEAT BUTTERMILK SCONES WITH RAISINS AND OATMEAL



Whole-Wheat Buttermilk Scones With Raisins and Oatmeal image

You may be accustomed to the gigantic, sweet scones in coffee shops in this country. They are nothing like the diminutive, light scones that originated in Britain and Ireland. This is a whole-wheat version, only moderately sweet -- the way I think scones should be. You can always top them with jam or honey if you want more sugar. The whole-wheat flour brings a rich, nutty flavor to the scones.

Time 30m

Yield 12 small scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

150 grams (approximately 1 1/4 cups) whole-wheat flour

125 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) buttermilk
75 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir in oatmeal. Rub in butter, or place in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle and beat at low speed, or pulse in a food processor, until incorporated. Add buttermilk and raisins and mix just until dough comes together.
  • Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and gently shape into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut either into 2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter or into 6 squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until browned on the bottom. Flip over, bake 2 more minutes, and remove from the heat. Serve warm or allow to cool.

SCOTTISH BUTTERMILK OAT SCONES



Scottish Buttermilk Oat Scones image

This recipe was with Bob's Redmill Steel cut oats. I use the steelcut oats for oatmeal for breakfast and this seemed like a way to get fiber and a scone.

Provided by Muddyboots

Categories     Scones

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup whole grain oat flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup raisins or 1/3 cup currants
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon milk
cinnamon
sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and toast steel cut oats for 20 minutes or until golden stirring once in awhile to prevent burning. In a large bowl combine flours, soda, salt and dried fruit. When steelcut oats done reset oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl combine cooked steel cut oats and buttermilk and let sit for 20 minutes. Using a pastry cutter combine flour mixture with cold butter which has been cut into small pieces. Stir mixture until crumbly then stir into buttermilk and oats. I added 1/3 cup of fresh blueberries, drained and dried cranberries. Butter a cookie sheet and after mixing everything but don't over mix place on the cookie sheet making into a large circle about 3/4 inches thick. Score the top into 8 wedges and brush with milk. Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top. Bake 12-15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your scones a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have any fresh buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop. You should still see some small lumps of butter in the dough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the scones rise quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the scones.
  • Don't overbake the scones. Overbaking will make your scones dry and crumbly. Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast on the go or for a special occasion brunch. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect buttermilk scones every time.
