Directions
(Relatively) Healthy Oatmeal Scones,After finding an old scone recipe in the crevices of my kitchen, I experimented a little and it turned into a low fat–but still delicious!–treat, great for breakfast, snacks, or afternoon tea. These are best warm, split in half and spread with jam, preserves, butter, and/or clotted cream. Also great with a hot cup of tea. =),Wow, these were so good. I made a few tweak:s: i cut the recipe in half and added 1/8 tsp cinnamon. I didn’t use the half and half but sprinkled sugar on top (I forgot to baste with buttermilk, but the dough seemed moist enough). All I had was regular butter, not light. I didn’t put any fruit or nut additions in the dough. I should have made the circle thicker so mine did not rise as well as they should have. I baked mine for 350 for 15 min (I needed the oven @ 350 so I couldn’t raise it to 450). Tasted so good with honey. Actually, once they cool down the flavor melds much better. Thanks so much for sharing!,Just made half a batch of these, used Splenda instead of sugar, used semi-skimmed milk instead of buttermilk and omitted the half and half. Only needed about half of the milk as someone else said. Added sultanas, mixed peel and chopped dates. They were a little crumbly but delicious with jam and Quark sweetened with Splenda. Brilliant!
