STARBUCKS Orange Oatmeal Flat Scones

These are DEEELISH!!! (Yes, I'm in Edmonton, just thought I'd give those who are checking in anyway a recipe :)) Might even post one on schedule for tomorrow too!!! :)

Starbuck's Orange Oatmeal Flat Scones

2-1/2 cups flour

2 cups of oatmeal

1 cup white sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 TBSP. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup very cold, unsalted butter, cut into small chunks

1 egg

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (two large oranges)

1/4 tsp. orange or tangerine oil or extract

1 cup of raisins, plumped & dried (I use craisins!)

Glaze:

Milk, sugar & orange zest

The Process:

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425. In a large bowl place flour, oatmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and mix together.

Cut or rub in butter to make a mealy mixture. Stir in egg & orange juice. Add orange oil or extract. Mix to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for a few minutes. Roll or pat out into a thickness of 1/2 inch. Using a serrated cookie cutter, cut into disks or rounds (I just use a large cup!). Brush with milk & sprinkle with sugar & orange zest.

Bake until nicely browned - about 14 minutes.

I always double the recipe as they freeze beautifully!

enjoy an afternoon tea!
