The Cheeseboard Collective's Oat Scones image

Cheeseboard, in Berkeley, CA, makes some of the best oat scones known to mankind: light, airy, and not too sweet. This is the recipe from their cookbook, although I think it is missing the pinch of magic that they add to everything they make!

Time 50m

Yield 10-12 scones, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups old fashioned oats
3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 cup currants
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  • Sift together flours, baking soda and baking powder into a large bowl.
  • Add salt, brown sugar, and oats. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
  • Add butter and cut in with a pastry cutter until it is the size of small peas. Using the spoon, mix in currants.
  • Make a well in the center; add buttermilk and cream. Mix briefly, until ingredients just come together; add more buttermilk or cream if the dough seems too dry.
  • Let the dough stand for 10 minutes.
  • Place the dough on a well-floured surface and using a rolling pin and a generous helping of flour, roll it into a one-inch thick rectangle. Fold the rectangle in half, and roll it again until one inch thick. Repeat twice, and the third time, roll into a rectangle of approximately 6 x 12 x 1.25in.
  • Using a cookie cutter or a glass, cut three inch rounds from the dough and place them on the prepared pans about 2 inches apart. The scraps can be rolled out again and the process repeated until all the dough is used.
  • Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  • Place the scones on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool.

These scones are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter or milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of scones, but these ones were really good. The cheese and oats made them extra flavorful and moist.

These scones were a hit with my family! My kids loved the cheesy flavor and my husband couldn't get enough of the crispy crust. I'll definitely be making these again.

These oat scones are a delightful treat! I followed the recipe to a T and they turned out perfectly. The scones are light and fluffy with a crispy exterior. The flavor is simple yet delicious, with a hint of sweetness from the oats and a hint of salt
