Ingredients

  • 2 cups of versatile all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups of quick-cooking oats for added texture
  • ½ cup of richly packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder for a fluffy lift
  • 2 teaspoons of aromatic ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda for the perfect rise
  • ½ teaspoon of salt to enhance flavors
  • ¼ teaspoon of warming ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup of butter-flavored shortening for a hint of buttery goodness
  • 1 cup of tangy and creamy buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons of fragrant vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon of confectioners' sugar, if desired, for a touch of sweetness

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up and to prevent the scones from sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, blend together a delightful combination of flour, oats, rich brown sugar, aromatic cinnamon, baking powder, a pinch of salt, a hint of nutmeg, and the magical touch of baking soda. Add in the shortening and gently mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Introduce the buttermilk and a splash of vanilla extract, stirring until everything harmoniously comes together.

Step 3

Now, it's time to shape the dough into charming individual scones, each about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place them gracefully on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each to allow for even baking.

Step 4

Slide the baking sheet into the loving warmth of the preheated oven and let the scones bake until they reach a glorious golden brown hue, a process that should take around 15 to 20 minutes. Once they are done, allow them to cool for a brief 5 minutes before adding a delicate touch of powdered sugar for that final sweet flourish.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your buttermilk fresh by storing it in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator. Make sure to give it a good shake before using it in your scone recipe for that tangy flavor.
  2. 2. Store your oats in a cool, dark pantry in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent any moisture from getting in. This will ensure that your scones have that hearty, nutty flavor.
