18 Scones
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | cups | All-purpose flour |
| ⅓ | cup | Sugar |
| 1¾ | teaspoon | Baking powder |
| 1 | teaspoon | Baking soda |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| 2 | Sticks butter, chilled | |
| 3 | cups | Rolled oats |
| 1 | cup | Raisins |
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use either your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub or cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the oats and raisins, tossing or stirring with a fork until you can gather the dough into a rough ball.
Sprinkle a board with flour and put the dough on it. Knead 6 or 7 times. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Pat each part into a circle and ½ inch thick. Cut each circle into wedges. Put the wedges on ungreased baking sheets ½ inch apart. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the scones are lightly browned. Serve warm.
