Time 33m

Yield 6 scones, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup dried cranberries or 1/3 cup cherries
zest of one lemon
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk or 1 tablespoon cream

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl place the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder and whisk to combine. Add the butter and using two knives or a pastry blender cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the rolled oats, dried cranberries and zest. Mix until combined. Stir in the buttermilk (adding more buttermilk if necessary) and mix just until the dough comes together.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough four or five times and then pat, or roll, the dough into a circle that is 7 inches (18 cm) round and about 11/2 inches (3.75 cm) thick. Cut this circle into 8 triangular sections. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Make an egg wash of one beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon milk or cream and brush the tops of the scones with this mixture.
Bake for about 15 - 18 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and then turn your broiler on high. Sift confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar heavily over the tops of the scones and place them under the broiler. Broil for just a few seconds, turning the pan as necessary, until the sugar has melted and turns golden brown. Make sure to watch the scones carefully as the sugar will burn very quickly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
For a sweeter scone, increase the amount of sugar in the recipe. For a more tart scone, reduce the amount of sugar.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
For a crispy scone, bake the scones until they are golden brown on top. For a softer scone, bake them for a few minutes less.

Conclusion:

Cranberry oat scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weekend brunch. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect cranberry oat scones every time.
