EATING SUBURBIA'S BANANA & OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients; set aside.
• Blend mashed banana, melted margarine, and soy milk until fairly smooth. Add in dry ingredients and optional item and mix just until moistened. Pour out onto floured board. Incorporate more flour if dough is too sticky. Cut dough in half and roll or pat each half into a circle, about 7-8 inches around. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on silpat or oiled baking sheet.
• Bake 425 for about 10 minutes, until light golden brown.

CINNAMON-RAISIN OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread oats evenly on baking sheet and toast in oven until fragrant and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes; cool on wire rack. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Line second baking sheet with parchment paper. When oats are cooled, measure out 2 tablespoons and set aside.
• Whisk milk, cream, and egg in large measuring cup until incorporated; remove 1 tablespoon to small bowl and reserve for glazing.
• Pulse flour, cinnamon, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in food processor until combined, about four 1-second pulses. Scatter cold butter evenly over dry ingredients and pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, twelve to fourteen 1-second pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl; stir in cooled oats and raisins. Using rubber spatula, fold in liquid ingredients until large clumps form. Mix dough by hand in bowl until dough forms cohesive mass.
• Dust work surface with half of reserved oats, turn dough out onto work surface, and dust top with remaining oats. Gently pat into 7-inch circle about 1 inch thick. Using bench scraper or chef's knife, cut dough into 8 wedges and set on parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush surfaces with reserved egg mixture and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes; cool scones on baking sheet on wire rack 5 minutes, then remove scones to cooling rack and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Serve.

OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, cream of tarter and salt.
• In a small bowl, combine wet ingredients: butter,milk and egg,
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix, only until moist.
• Add raisins (or currents).
• Shape into a ball.
• Pat out on a lightly floured board into an 8 inch circle.
• Cut into 8-12 wedges.
• Bake on a greased cookie sheet in a 425 degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until brown.

COOKED OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and honey together, and mix them into the cool, cooked oatmeal.
• Mix in the milk, half at a time.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• You may wish to adjust the salt depending on how much was used in cooking the oatmeal- I am assuming not very much, if any.
• Mix the flour into the oatmeal.
• If the mixture seems too moist, add a little more flour.
• (This will depend on how moist your cooked oatmeal was. When enough flour has been stirred in, the dough will form a rough ball.) Roll out to 1" thick and cut in wedges, or scoop it out with an ice cream scoop and flatten it to 1" with dampened hands.
• Bake on a greased and floured sheet at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.

(RELATIVELY) HEALTHY OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix together dry ingredients (flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt).
• Cut in butter (I like to dice the butter and add it in, separating the cubes) and combine using a fork until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
• Add dried fruit to dry mixture if desired.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (buttermilk, half-and-half, vanilla).
• Gradually add wet mixture to the flour mixture and combine until a soft and sticky dough is formed.
• Move dough to a lightly floured surface and knead 2-3 times. Do not overwork the dough. Roll the dough into a 6-8-inch circle (depending on how thick you like your scones) and cut into 8 pie-shaped slices. You can experiment with other dough shapes (such as circles) to maximize servings.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until scones are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• For extra crunch and golden color, brush the tops of the scones with buttermilk. Liberally sprinkle sugar on top and broil carefully for a few minutes, turning and adjusting as necessary. Be sure to watch as sugar browns quickly.
• Enjoy.
