Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup optional toppings (e.g., raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If using any optional toppings such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite toppings such as butter, jam, or honey.
