Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in raisins.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times. Pat into a 3/4-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
- Place wedges on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
Tips
- For extra tender scones, handle the dough as little as possible.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
