Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 ¾ all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (, cold, cut into cubes)
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk (, cold)
  • 1 egg (, lightly beaten, for glaze)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine, the all-purpose flour, wheat flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Use a pastry blender or fork to work the butter into the flour mixture. Add the buttermilk and mix gently with a spoon, and then your hands, to bring the mixture together into a ball. Add additional buttermilk a tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is too dry. Do not overwork the dough.
  • Put the ball of dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough to be about 1 inch tall. Use a 2.5 inch cutter to cut scone rounds. Place the cut scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with the beaten egg.
  • Bake until tops are golden, about 18-20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Scones are best enjoyed the day they are baked, but can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days.
