Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until well combined.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart between each scone.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
