Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup oatmeal

6 tablespoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

1/2 cup dried cranberries

3/4 cup buttermilk

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the dough is crumbly. Fold in the cranberries. Add the buttermilk and stir lightly with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together to form a ball. (The dough will be sticky, but resist the temptation to overwork it.)
  3. On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a large circle about 2 inches thick. Cut the dough into wedges. With a spatula, transfer the wedges to a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for 22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Best served warm and on the day they are made.

Cook’s Note

You can also brush the tops of the scones with cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking to add a little crunch and some extra sweetness.

Freeze your sticks of butter and use a cheese grater placed over the bowl with flour mixture in it and you’ll get perfect bits of butter mixed all in. I only had powdered buttermilk so mixed the powder (3Tbs) in with the flour mix and then add the water at the end (3/4c). Put my parchment paper on top of my prewarmed round pizza stone instead of a cookie sheet. Set my timer for 18min to be sure I didn’t over cook them, and ended up taking them out at about 20min and they were PERFECT! So yummy, I will definitely make these again and again!
