Proper Scottish Oat Scones

great sconesI've been making these for years! The browned butter is the trick to add flavor without tons of fat, and they are just lightly sweetened-perfect with morning latte on a relaxing weekend morning, especially for celebrating St Patrick's Day (like today!). I usually use all whole wheat pastry flour, and dried cranberries or dried blueberries instead of raisins. Love the orange zest idea; I bet that would combine perfectly with cranberries! Best eaten the same day as they dry out after a couple days.Pros: tasty. lower fat, whole grain

Very tasty, added orange zest This is a great alternative to higher calorie scones. I added orange zest and replaced about 1/8 cup of the yogurt with orange juice to change it up the second time I made them and it tasted great. Pros: Not much fat Cons: Taste so good I want to eat too many

I thought these were a bit dry and lacking flavor but I've not had that many scones in my lifetime so... Pros: Lower Calorie Cons: Dry

delicious a littlw dry--add a titch more liquid if at higher elevation to get the dough to stick together. delicious--not too sweet, Pros: healthful

Great taste, but healthierThese taste just like the "traditional" scones I've had in the past. Mixed some raisins in with them and served them with jam. Just the perfect breakfast for a sunday morning.

I'm puzzled by the low average rating. These are delicious, not-too-sweet, and easy to make. My whole family is delighted every time I make them.
