Miniature Scones

(8 servings)

  • 1-1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick cold butter cut into cubes
  • 1-1/4 cup oats
  • 1 cup dried cranberries/raisins or chocolate chips
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup half and half or milk
  • 1 egg mixed with 2 tablespoons milk for egg-wash
  • Sugar for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse and crumbly. Stir in the oats and dried fruit or chocolate chips. Add the egg and stir with a wooden spoon. Add the cream and stir gently. Do not over mix.

Turn out on lightly floured surface and form an eight-inch circle. Place on baking sheet on parchment or waxed paper. Cut into 12 wedges and separate a bit. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake 25 minutes until golden.


This is an easy recipe to modify. You could use raisins, cranberries or any dried berry. Or you could use chocolate or butterscotch chips. I hope you make them and like them as much we do.
