This is a variation of the recipe posted by bluenoser.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 25 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 1.0 dozen

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup shortening
• ½ cup butter
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup sour milk
• 2 cups frozen blackberries

Directions:

1. Mix first four ingredients.
2. Cut in the shortening and the butter.
3. Add baking soda to sour milk. (If you don't have sour milk or buttermilk, add 1 Tbsp of lemon juice to milk to make 1 cup, then let sit until thickened.).
4. Mix milk and blackberries into dough.
5. Drop onto parchment lined baking sheet. It helps to compress each scone with your hand a bit to make sure that it stays together while baking. You can also freeze unbaked scones at this point.
6. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

This recipe was easy to make and made a delicate, tasty and wholesome scone. I used 1/2 cup of canola oil instead of the combined cup of butter and shortening, and it required a little more patting for the scones to stay together in the pan. I also used yogut instead of sour milk. I'm going to try again adding a little cinnamon instead of some of the sugar. Be sure to use parchment or oil the pan because the berries are pretty runny.

i am not a scone expert, i have only made them a couple times before. but this dough was quite a bit more wet than i expected. the end result was light and puffy like a cookie and less scone-y. they were very yummy though and the kids loved them!
