Scottish Oat Scones
Oaty goodness studded with rum-soaked raisins
On a dark November day these Scottish Oat Scones are like an old friend - familiar, comforting, and easy.
I’ve been making them for years and they always taste great - especially with butter and jam for afternoon tea.
Afternoon tea for two!
Here is the recipe:
2/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup milk
1 3/4 cups uncooked oatmeat - I use large flake oats
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins or currants
Method:
Add butter, milk and egg to combined oats, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Stir in raisins - if your raisins are a bit hard you can soak them like I did in a bit of rum to soften.
Pat mixture out on a lightly floured surface to form triangles (or whatever shape takes your fancy!) Place on greased cookie sheet and bake in preheated 425° oven for about 12 minutes. Buon appetito!
