Yield Makes 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut butter into oat mixture until the mixture resembles a coarse meal; whisk in dried cherries. In another medium bowl, mix together egg, buttermilk, and vanilla and almond extracts until well combined. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; mix until well combined.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface; roll out to a 1-inch-thick 8-by-6-inch rectangle. Cut biscuits into eight 2-by-3-inch rectangles using a sharp knife; transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet. Brush biscuits with buttermilk and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  • Transfer biscuits to oven and bake until tops are lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving.

I was a bit disappointed with these scones. I found them to be a bit dry and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These scones were a delightful treat! The combination of oatmeal, dried cherries, and a hint of cinnamon created a perfect balance of flavors. They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I served them with a dollop of whipped c
