Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together the milk, the egg, the brown sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well. In another bowl stir together the flour, the oats, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt and blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sir in the dates and the milk mixture until the mixture just forms a sticky dough. Drop the dough by 1/3-cup measures onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake the scones in the middle of a preheated 400°F. for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden. (Alternatively the scones may be dropped onto a hot greased griddle and cooked over moderate heat, turning them, for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden on both sides and cooked through.)
COOKED OATMEAL SCONES
Most scones ARE cooked; they're better that way. What I mean, of course, is that these are made with leftover cooked oatmeal. The only way to get leftover oatmeal in my house is to make extra and hide enough for these right away. There is nothing more comforting on a cold winter morning than a big bowl of oatmeal - except for these scones, with a little butter and honey and a nice pot of tea.

Steps:
- Melt the butter and honey together, and mix them into the cool, cooked oatmeal.
- Mix in the milk, half at a time.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- You may wish to adjust the salt depending on how much was used in cooking the oatmeal- I am assuming not very much, if any.
- Mix the flour into the oatmeal.
- If the mixture seems too moist, add a little more flour.
- (This will depend on how moist your cooked oatmeal was. When enough flour has been stirred in, the dough will form a rough ball.) Roll out to 1" thick and cut in wedges, or scoop it out with an ice cream scoop and flatten it to 1" with dampened hands.
- Bake on a greased and floured sheet at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease cookie sheet. Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Mix together butter, milk and egg in another bowl. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Mix in raisins. Shape dough into ball.
- Place on lightly floured work surface. Pat out to form 3/4-inch-thick circle. Using sharp knife, cut into 12 wedges. Transfer to prepared cookies sheet. Bake until light brown, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly on rack. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool completely. Store in airtight container.)
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality oats. This will give your scones the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder will not work as well and your scones will not rise properly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your scones tough.
- Drop the batter onto the hot griddle. Do not pour it, as this will make the scones spread too much.
- Cook the scones over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Conclusion:
Scottish oatmeal drop scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a cold morning or a lazy weekend afternoon. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.
