from the daily loaf - /dailyloaf/2009/03/16/festive-irish-soda-bread-scones-for-st-pattys-day/ Ingredients:
3 cups flour (white, whole wheat or half and half) |
1/4 cup oats |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (can use low-fat) |
2 tablespoons buttermilk |
2 tablespoons oats |
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir together dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk and stir to combine.
2. Mix by hand until a dough starts to form. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead into a ball. Pat dough into a 7-8 inch circle about one inch thick. Cut into six large or 10 small scones (or whatever shape your heart desires).
3. Transfer scones to baking pan with parchment or that’s lightly floured. Brush the tops of scones with buttermilk, then sprinkle the oats and turbinado sugar over them.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until they’re lightly brown and have a hollow sound when you tap the bottoms. Let cool for a few minutes and spread with your favorite jam while they’re still warm.
