Scottish Oat Scones

My husband's coworker brings in these delicious treats every so often to the office. David brought me home a few and I fell in love. The coworker was nice enough to share the recipe with YHH and I want to pass it on to you, my readers.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted

1/3 cup milk

1 egg

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/4 cups Quaker Quick Oats uncooked

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon creme of tartar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raisins or currents

Directions:

Add butter, milk, and eggs to combined dry ingredients; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in currents or raisins. Shape dough to form ball; pat out a lightly floured surface to form 8 inch circle. Cut it into 8-12 wedges, much like a slice of pizza. Bake on greased cookie sheet; in preheated oven (425 degrees) 12 - 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Serve warm at breakfast or brunch with butter, preserves or honey.

Variations: add chocolate chips, dried cranberries, walnuts, pine-nuts, almonds, chopped dried apricots, white chocolate chips, sunflower seeds or any combination of the above. You can also sprinkle with sugar before you bake.

By cutting down on the sugar and only serving drizzled with honey, it becomes a healthier snack choice!
