Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
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, whisk together the flour, oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape it into a round disc about 1 inch thick and 6-7 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges, like slicing a pizza.
Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each scone.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
