How to Make Oatmeal Scones

Step-by-Step

Combine raisins and boiling water, let stand 1 hour. Or, boil raisins until soft. Drain, reserving the raisins and the raisin water.
Mix together the dry ingredients.
Cut the cold butter (cubed) into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.
Add the drained raisins and oatmeal.
Stir the buttermilk into the above mixture just until moist. If mixture is too dry add 2-3 Tblsp. of the reserved raisin water.
Turn onto floured surface. Gently fold/knead 6-8 times.
Pat into a 7- inch circle.
Cut into 8 wedges. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

You may sprinkle coarse sugar on top of these before baking, or drizzle your favorite powdered sugar on top before serving.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly brown.
