Ingredients

  • - oil or butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, plus more more for rolling
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (8 tbsp.) cold unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

How To Make brown sugar and oat scones

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon.
  • Step 2
    Add 7 Tbsp. of the butter and blend with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cream and vanilla and stir just until combined. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times.
  • Step 3
    Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet and roll or press it into an 8-inch circle. Melt the remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and brush the dough with it.
  • Step 4
    Combine the remaining 1/4 tsp. cinnamon with the sugar and sprinkle it over the dough. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and separate them just enough that they no longer touch.
  • Step 5
    Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
