CHERRY OAT SCONES
"In England, scones are served with clotted cream. They're delicious with sweetened whipped cream and cherry jam. Scones freeze beautifully in freezer bags."
1 1/3 cups flour
1 cups rolled oats, uncooked
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt
1/2 cup dried cherries
Combine flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut butter into small pieces and mix into flour mixture. Add egg and yogurt and mix until blended thoroughly. Add dried cherries and mix until evenly distributed.
Pat dough in a circle on floured surface. Cut into wedges and place on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.
