Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Optional: Dried fruits (e.g., raisins or currants)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. It's okay if some larger butter pieces remain.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should look shaggy.
If adding dried fruits, fold them into the dough now.
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the stones are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the baking stones cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
