Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
For Lemon Poppyseed Flavor Add In
  • Zest and juice of one lemon
  • 2 T. Poppy Seeds
  • ½ t. lemon oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or cover with a sheet of parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl, melt butter. Measure in milk and egg, and beat until frothy.
  4. Add ½ t. lemon oil for lemon flavored scones.*
  5. In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in zest and juice of one lemon, and a 2 T. of poppy seeds.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry to create a soft dough.
  7. Divide dough, and pat dough into two ½ inch thick circles.
  8. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Score each circle of dough into 8 wedges using a butter knife.
  10. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly brown.
  11. Split wedges, and serve warm with butter, lemon curd, or jam.
Notes
*if you’d like to make two different flavors in one scone recipe, you can blend the flavorings in just after you divide the dough. Just add half of the flavorings called for into one round, and blend in well.
!Variations: You can also do orange cranberry scones by subbing ½ cup of dried cranberries for the poppy seeds, and using orange oil and zest instead of the lemon. Other yummy variations would be chocolate chip, blueberry, or cinnamon raisin. Just add ½ to ⅔ cups of chips, blueberries, or raisins. And 1 t. of cinnamon for the raisin scones.
These are my most awesomely naughty recipes!
