Oatmeal Scones With Dried Apricots and Cranberries image

I found this recipe on the New York Daily News website. One of the reasons I like this recipe so much is that it uses the food processor, which combines the scone dough beautifully. If you don't have a food processor you can use your hands, and I can guarantee a good workout in the process. Another reason I like this recipe is because it uses dried cranberries (craisins). I love these little babies.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (1 cup)
1/3 cup dried roughly chopped apricot
1/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to center position and heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Spread the oats in an even layer onto a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet.
  • Place in the oven and toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • Wipe the sheet, line with some parchment paper and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
  • Blend briefly to combine.
  • Evenly distribute the butter over the dry ingredients and process for a half-dozen 1-second pulses.
  • Add the oats and fruit and pulse an additional 6 times, or until the largest piece of butter is about the size of a pea.
  • Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Stir the buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl or large measuring cup until well-combined.
  • Add the mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork or rubber spatula until dough begins to form large wet clumps.
  • Turn onto the countertop and knead by hand, incorporating any dry floury bits until it comes together into a rough, sticky ball.
  • Pat down into a 6- to 7-inch disk and cut into 8 wedges.
  • Transfer the scones onto a prepared baking sheet and bake until dark golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones came out dry and crumbly. I'm going to have to try this recipe again.

Not sure what went wrong, but my scones came out flat and dense. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. Next time, I'll add a bit more milk to the batter.

Not a fan of dried fruit, so I omitted the apricots and cranberries. The scones still turned out moist and flavorful.

Scrumptious scones! The dried apricots and cranberries added a delightful tangy-sweetness that perfectly complemented the hearty oats. My family devoured them in no time!
