• Ready In: 38mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 12 scones

ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the counter
• 2 1⁄2 cups rolled oats
• 3⁄4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 12 ounces sweet butter, cold and diced small
• 1 cup golden raisin
• 1 1⁄2 cups half-and-half

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine everything except the half-and-half until just combined.
3. Do not over mix. (Mixture will not be creamed, just mixed together.)
4. Quickly pour in 1 1/4 cups of the half-and-half while mixing quickly.
5. If the dough appears at all dry add the remaining 1/4 cups of half & half until just combined.
6. Again, do not over mix.
7. Turn the dough out onto a very well floured surface.
8. If the dough is very sticky, flour the top of the dough also.
9. Pat the mixture into a layer 3/4 to 1-inch thick.
10. Using a 2-inch diameter round cutter, cut out the scones, dipping the cutter into flour each time between cuts.
11. Place each scone, as cut, onto a parchment paper covered sheet pan leaving 2 to 3 inches between each scone.
12. This should make 12 round scones. (You can also form dough into rectangular shape and cut with a knife into 12 square or triangle scones.).
13. Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown on both the top and bottom of scones.

Light buttery and delicious! I made this on my food processor using semi-frozen butter and uses slightly less half and half than stated, I used dried cranberries in place of raisins, thanks for sharing this great scone recipe hon!...Kitten
