Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 whole large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup optional toppings (e.g., raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

If using any optional toppings such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 7

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite toppings such as butter, jam, or honey.
