Many years ago, I found a recipe in a newspaper somewhere for these. I have made my own little conversions. They are one of my favorite low sugar treats- a bit crumbly sometimes, but delicious nonetheless. A little bit of butter on them would not be a bad thing!
Fruit and Oat Scones...........375 degree oven, 30 mins.
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour.............1 1/4 cups oats, lightly roasted
1 T. baking powder..............................1/4 t. salt
scant 1/4 cup honey.............................1/3 cup butter
1 1/3 cups dried fruit cut into raisin-sized pieces
1/3-1/2 cup milk.................................. 1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4-1/2 t. cinnamon
Mix together dry ingrdients- flour, oats, salt, bk. powder. Cut in honey and butter til mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in fruit. Add milk and egg,mixing until just moistened. Add cinnamon. Push into ball and knead gently 6 or 8 times. Dough will be a little sticky. If it is too moist to knead, add a small amount of extra flour, no more than a tablespoon at a time.
Pat out dough to form 8" circle on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Score into 12 wedges using sharp floured knife. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Cut or break apart while still warm.
Dried apples, apricots and golden raisins are a nice combination of fruits to use.
Yum! I should have been making these instead of typing this out!
