Description:
These Cooked Oatmeal Scones are a delightful twist on the classic scone recipe, utilizing leftover cooked oatmeal for a comforting treat. Perfect for a cozy winter morning, enjoy them with a spread of butter and honey alongside a steaming pot of tea.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup cooked oatmeal, cooled
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking sheet.
-
Melt Butter and Honey: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and honey together over low heat until combined.
-
Combine with Oatmeal: In a mixing bowl, pour the melted butter and honey mixture over the cooled, cooked oatmeal. Stir until well combined.
-
Mix in Milk: Gradually add the milk to the oatmeal mixture, mixing well after each addition.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the oatmeal mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough seems too moist, add a little more flour as needed.
-
Shape Scones: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1-inch thickness. Cut into wedges or use an ice cream scoop to portion out rounds, then flatten them to 1-inch thickness with dampened hands.
-
Bake: Place the shaped scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
-
Serve: Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
