Servings: Makes 12 Scones
 
Ingredients:
Scones:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats, quick or old fashioned, uncooked
1/4 cup PLUS 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick/4 oz./113g) unsalted butter or margarine, chilled and cut into pieces
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
3 to 4 teaspoons orange juice or milk

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

In large bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, combine milk, egg and vanilla; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir with fork or rubber spatula until dry ingredients are moistened. In another small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with the toasted chopped pecans and cinnamon; mix well. Sprinkle evenly over dough in bowl; gently stir batter to swirl in cinnamon mixture (Do not blend completely.) Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake scones for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes.

Glaze:
In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and enough orange juice for desired glaze consistency; mix until smooth. Drizzle over top of warm scones. Serve warm.

Makes 12 scones.

What's not to like? ... easy to make, moist and flavorful. Made with the glaze of icing sugar and orange juice. Went great with the cinnamon taste.

This was my first attempt at making scones. They were wonderful; moist and rich but not too sweet. Everybody loved them.

These are, hands down, my new favorite scone recipe. Family members who don't eat scones are eating these. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
