Streusel-Oat Scones

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chilled stick margarine, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
Cooking spray
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon margarine, melted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine the first five ingredients in a medium bowl; cut in 1/4 cup margarine with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stirring just until mixture is moist. Turn dough out onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle; set aside.

Combine oats, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon margarine, and 1 tablespoon flour, forming a streusel. Gently pat oats mixture into surface of dough. Cut dough into 12 wedges (do not separate wedges). bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

My Experience

OK, you caught me. I haven't actually made these myself. My wife has made them several times, and claims they are easy. I just know they are quite tasty, especially since I have generally considered scones to be dry and bland.
