Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps ensure that the scones don’t stick, making cleanup a breeze. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the flour, oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt. I whisk it all together until everything is evenly distributed. Then, I add in the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter (or fork) to blend it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It’s such a satisfying texture!
