Scottish Oat Scones recipe

16 servings

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups rolled oats

1/4 cup white sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dried currants

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup butter, melted

1/3 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Lightly grease a baking sheet.

In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and currants.

Make a well in the center.

In a small bowl, beat egg until frothy, and stir in melted butter and milk.

Pour into the well, and mix to create a soft dough.

Pat dough into two 1/2 inch thick circles.

Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Score 8 wedges into each circle of dough.

Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until risen and browned.

Split wedges, and serve warm.
