Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups regular rolled oats for 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut palm sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- ½ cup + 2 teaspoons nonfat milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon packed lemon zest
- ½ cup dried cherries
- ¾ teaspoon turbinado sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To make the oat flour, place the oats in a food processor and process until finely ground, about 1 minute. Pour into a bowl and scoop 1 cup oat flour back into the processor. Reserve any remaining flour for another use.
- Add the whole wheat pastry flour, sugar, baking powder, ground ginger and salt to the processor. Pulse briefly to combine.
- Add the chilled butter to the processor and pulse until the mixture is pale yellow and the consistency of a fine meal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup non-fat milk, vanilla extract and egg white. Pour the mixture, along with the lemon zest, into the processor and pulse quickly until just mixed.
- Turn the mixture out onto a generously floured surface. Sprinkle the dried cherries over the dough. Lightly dust your hands with flour and gently knead to mix in the dried cherries, and form the dough into a ball.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. With lightly floured hands, form the dough into an 8-inch circle.
- Cut the circle into 12 triangles, keeping the circle of dough intact.
- Using 2 teaspoons of non-fat milk, lightly brush the tops of the scones. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar over top.
- Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until the surface of the scones are golden brown. Cool on the tray or on a cooling rack. Cut the scones apart and serve.
Notes
- Weight Watchers Points: 3 (Points+), 3 (Old Points)
- Make ahead: The scones can be made ahead and frozen. Separate the raw scones from each other and place them on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Place in the freezer uncovered. When the scones are completely frozen, place them in plastic freezer bags. Take them out a few at a time and bake for 17-21 minutes at 375 degrees F.
