from "the daily loaf" - http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/dailyloaf/2009/03/16/festive-irish-soda-bread-scones-for-st-pattys-day/
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour (white, whole wheat or half and half)
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (can use low-fat)
Topping
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons oats
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir together dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk and stir to combine.
- Mix by hand until a dough starts to form. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead into a ball. Pat dough into a 7-8 inch circle about one inch thick. Cut into six large or 10 small scones (or whatever shape your heart desires).
- Transfer scones to baking pan with parchment or that’s lightly floured. Brush the tops of scones with buttermilk, then sprinkle the oats and turbinado sugar over them.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until they’re lightly brown and have a hollow sound when you tap the bottoms. Let cool for a few minutes and spread with your favorite jam while they’re still warm.
