Oat Scones



In Martin the Warrior, these are served with honey or raspberry preserves.

3/4 cup cold buttermilk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour (white wheat, whole wheat, or whole wheat pastry)
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp chilled butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup oats
1 small egg, lightly beaten
cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375°. Combine the first three ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Combine flour and salt, in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the oats. Add milk mixture, stirring just until moist.

Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until the dough is all together. Place on a baking sheet that is either greased, or lined with parchment. Form dough into an approximately 3/4" thick, 9-inch circle. Cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through.

Brush the small egg over the dough and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake until golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve warm.
