Oat scones (martha stewart)

10 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1¼ cup Whole-wheat flour
2 cups All-purpose flour
¾ cup Granulated sugar
¾ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking soda
2½ teaspoon Baking powder
2½ cup Oats
1 cup Sour cherries; chopped
10 ounces Chilled unsalted butter; cut into 1/2-inch pieces
⅔ cup Buttermilk
1 tablespoon Heavy cream
1 tablespoon Sanding sugar

Directions

Line an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all dry ingredients, except sanding sugar, with the cherries in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add butter, and mix on medium-low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, and mix until just combined. Turn out the mixture onto a clean work surface. With hands, quickly pat mixture into a 16- by-3-½-inch rectangle that is 1-½ inches high. Score rectangle into ten triangles. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to the freezer for at least 2 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove dough from the freezer, and cut into triangles with a sharp knife. Place scones two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush scones with heavy cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Makes 10 scones. Formatted by Lynn Thomas dcqp82a@.... Source: Martha Stewart Living October 1997.
