Scottish Oat Scones

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup dried currants
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/3 cup milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and currants. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl, beat egg until frothy, and stir in melted butter and milk. Pour into the well, and mix to create a soft dough. Pat dough into two 1/2 inch thick circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Score 8 wedges into each circle of dough.

Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until risen and browned. Split wedges, and serve warm.
