| Recipe by Bake with Paws
My mother in-law is a fan of scones. I tried to create something healthier that we could have for breakfast.
I have other various Scones recipes that you may like to try. Buttermilk Scone, Lavender Buttermilk Scone and Pandan Scone.
How to get puffy and flaky scone:
Make sure the butter and all wet ingredients must be very cold and try not to use hand mixing the ingredients.

Recipe - Oatmeal Buttermilk Scone
Yields: 8 scones
INGREDIENTS:
115g plain flour
115g oatmeal
¼ tsp salt
2 ½ tsp baking powder / double action baking powder
40g brown sugar
50g raisins, optional
80g butter, very cold from the freezer
1 large egg, at room temperature
46g or 3 1/2 tbsp buttermilk
Utensils:
2 inch (5cm) cookie cutter
A pastry blender
A baking tray lined with parchment paper
METHOD:
- Cut butter into few pieces and place the butter in freezer.
- Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan forced)
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the oatmeal.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg with buttermilk together. Set aside.
- Remove butter from freezer. Add butter into the flour mixture and use pastry blender to cut the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs. (If you do not have a pastry blender, use knife).
- Add sugar and raisins, mixed well.
- Add egg mixture and mix with a spatula with cutting movement until all come together. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more buttermilk, a teaspoon at a time.
- Using hand, roughly make dough into a ball. Place the dough in the fridge for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Remove dough from the fridge. Turn it onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Fold it into thirds like a letter. Repeat another time the same way. Roll the dough out to at least 1 inch (2.5cm) thick. Please do not roll it any thinner as we want to have well-risen scones.
- Using a round cutter, cut scone from the dough. Please don’t twist it, just lift it up and push the dough out.
- Place the scones on the lined baking tray, brush them lightly with buttermilk.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and well-risen.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Hi. Can I use instant oats for this recipe?
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by. I never tried with instant oats. It should work too. You may need to blend the oats in food processor first.
Cheers:)
Hi what can I use instead of eggs?
DeleteHi, I have not tried making eggless scone yet. But, I think you can replace egg with buttermilk.
DeleteCheers :)
I wanted to make this long time. Will try soon. Looks filling.
