You can vary these light and fluffy scones by using raspberry or cherry jam. Recipe courtesy of Sunset. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut |
1/2 cup rolled oats |
3 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup cold butter, cut into chunks |
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup milk |
1/4 cup raspberry jam or 1/4 cup cherry jam |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix flour, coconut, oats, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. With your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut in butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
2. In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk to blend. Stir all but about 1 tablespoon egg mixture into flour mixture just until evenly moistened.
3. Scrape dough onto a lightly floured board and pat into an 8 inch round. Slide round onto a buttered 12 by 15 inch baking sheet and cut into 8 wedges, leaving wedges in place. Brush top of round with reserved egg mixture and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Make a 1-inch diameter depression on top of the wide end of each wedge and fill each with about 1/2 tablespoon jam.
4. Bake in a 375 degree regular or convection oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Recut scones to separate and serve warm, or transfer to a rack to cool completely.
