Today I am doing Fruit 'N Oat Scones by Pampered Chef. I have been making these for close to 20 years now and my family loves them. First step: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Using a pastry blender, cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1/2 cup dried fruit (I am using pomegranate this time but all types work well).
Add 1/2 cup milk and mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.
Knead gently 8-10 times. Using lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough to 9-inch circle, about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut into 8-12 wedges (depending on how large you want your servings to be); separate slightly. Sprinkle with a mixture of 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon.
Bake 15-17 minutes or until golden brown and serve warm.
A scone and English breakfast tea --- what a good start to a morning.
