POPPY SEED SCONES

Ingredients

~ 2 cups all-purpose flour
~ 1/2 cup sugar
~ 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
~ 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
~ 2 teaspoons baking powder
~ 1/2 teaspoon salt
~ 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
~ 1/3 cup cold butter
~ 1 egg
~ 1/2 cup orange juice
~ 3 tablespoons buttermilk
~ 1/2 cup dried cranberries
~ 1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Directions

1) In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, oats, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, orange juice and buttermilk; add to the crumb mixture just until moistened. Stir in cranberries and orange peel.

2) Turn onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead 6-8 times. Divide dough in half. Pat each portion into a 6-m. circle. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut each circle into six wedges, but do not separate.

3) Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
