Prep: 25 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 18 Servings

25 15 40

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups quick-cooking oats
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
TOPPING:
1 egg white
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, combine the milk, oil, butter, egg and yolk; stir into oat mixture just until blended. Stir in raisins and cranberries (dough will be sticky).
Turn dough onto a well-floured surface; divide in half. With lightly floured hands, pat each portion of dough into a 6-3/4-in. circle, 1/2 in. thick. Cut each into nine wedges; place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, beat egg white and water; brush over tops of scones. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

These are not as flaky as I prefer my scones, but the flavor was excellent! I did try replacing the oil with vegetable shortening, used cold butter and cut the fat into the dry ingredients in the classic biscuit fashion, hoping to get a flakier scone but it still just wasn't.

Everyone I have made these for, loves them! They are yummy! They are quite wet though, so I had to use a generous amount of flour before cutting them into wedges.
