MAPLE OATMEAL SCONES
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1/3 cup currants (optional)
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine dry ingredients (except nuts, raisins, and
currants) in mixer bowl and mix thoroughly. Cut in butter until walnut sized
chunks remain.
Add buttermilk, maple syrup and egg and mix briefly until dough comes
together. Add pecans, currants and raisins and mix a few seconds more.
Turn out dough onto lightly floured board and pat into a circle 3/4 inch
thick. Cut into wedge pie-shaped pieces.
Bake on pre-greased cookie sheet at 375°F degrees until light golden
brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove from sheet, glaze with confectioner's icing (flavored with orange
juice is nice) if desired or sprinkle with dots of butter and cinnamon sugar.
