Scones Made with Buttermilk and Oatmeal

Ingredients 0/12

Directions

Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the scones from sticking. In a big bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Next, cut in the shortening until the mixture looks crumbly with just a few small chunks left. Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla, then stir everything together until just combined — don’t overmix. Grab handfuls of dough and shape them into rounds about 3 inches wide and an inch thick, then place them on the baking sheet with a little space between each. Pop them in the oven and bake until they turn golden brown, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Once they’re out, let them cool for a few minutes before sprinkling a light dusting of powdered sugar on top.
