Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet ingredients into the center. Gently stir until the mixture just comes together to form a slightly sticky dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick and 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges (like slicing a pie). Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
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. Enjoy your Oatmeal Cinnamon Scones with butter or your favorite jam!
