Oatmeal Scones 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1-1/2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 6 tablespoons margarine or butter 2/3 cup reconstituted milk 1 medium egg In a large bowl combine the flour, oats, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda.  Mix it together with your hands so the leavenings and salt are evenly distributed.  Add the margarine or butter.  Using a fork or your hands mash the margarine or butter into the dry ingredients the same way you would for biscuits.  Continue until the mixture is crumbly. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the milk and egg.  Beat well.  Pour this into the dry ingredients.  Stir with a fork until you get a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl.  Dust the dough with flour if necessary.  Lightly coat a 9-inch cake or pie pan with nonstick spray.  Gather the dough into a ball. Pat it into the prepared pan.  Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12-wedges.  Bake at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes, or until risen, brown and crusty.  Remove from the oven.  Re-cut the wedges.  Allow the scones to cool briefly and then serve, while still warm from the oven.  Makes 12 servings.

Oatmeal Raisin Scones This is an easy and traditional variation to plain oatmeal scones.  Measure 1/2-cup of raisins and soak them in warm water to cover for about 5 minutes.  Drain very well.  Prepare the scones as directed above.  Stir the raisins into the dry ingredients right before adding the milk and egg.  Proceed as directed above.
