Ingredients

• 100 grams Rolled oats
• 125 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 50 grams Butter
• 1 Egg
• 150 ml Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Oil or butter (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by processing the rolled oats in a food processor until they are ground into a coarse flour consistency.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to incorporate all dry ingredients.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and rub it into the dry mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula or wooden spoon until you have a smooth batter. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little oil or butter.

Step 7

Once the pan is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan, spacing them a little apart. Each scone should be about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface of each scone and the edges begin to look set.

Step 9

Carefully flip the scones and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the scones from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the pan as needed.

Step 11

Serve the oat drop scones warm, with butter, jam, or honey as desired.
