Ingredients
3/4 c. all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
3/4 c. whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. Coarse salt
3 tbsp. packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 c. rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1/2 c. raisins or dried cherries
2 tsp. fennel seed (optional)
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 c. buttermilk
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, oats, raisins, and fennel seed, if using. In a small bowl, whisk together butter, egg, and buttermilk until combined, then add to flour mixture. Stir until batter is evenly moistened (do not overmix). Drop batter by 1/3 cupfuls, 2 inches apart, onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 15 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let scones cool on a wire rack, 5 minutes.Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.
