Time 33m

Yield 6 scones, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

Meh. These scones were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make them again.

I've tried this recipe a few times now and I've never been disappointed. The scones are always light and fluffy, with the perfect amount of sweetness and tartness. I love the way the cranberries and oats complement each other. This is definitely one

These scones were easy to make and they turned out great! I used frozen cranberries and they worked just fine. I also added a bit of orange zest to the batter, which gave the scones a lovely citrus flavor.

These scones were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they had very little flavor. I won't be making them again.

Not bad! I liked the texture of the scones, but I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some spices or fruit next time.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or milk next time.

I love the combination of cranberries and oats in these scones. They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I also appreciate that they're not too dense, so they're perfect for a light breakfast or snack.
