A friend shared this recipe with me.  They have become a family favorite and many have asked for the recipe.  I usually make these gluten free and no ones knows the difference.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups flour or 2 1/2 cups gluten free blend with xanthan gum
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups quick oats (certified gluten free if needed)
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 -3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Cut in shortening and softened butter with a fork or pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Mix in oats.  Add milk and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Divide dough in half and on a lightly floured surface knead just 6o to 7 times.  Pat in circle about 3/4 inch thick.  Cut each round into 8 pie wedges.  Place the rounds onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Brush tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.   Bake in preheated 375° for 15 minutes or until lightly brown.
  • Please note that if using a gluten free flour blend the scones may require a longer bake time.
