Oatmeal Raisin Scones

In honor of the Royal Wedding!


1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 sticks chilled butter
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup half and half

Preheat oven to 400.  Place flours, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of food processor.  Pulse 10 to 12 times.  Cut butter into pieces and distribute over the dry ingredients.  Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.  Transfer to a bowl and stir in the raisins.

Add milk and half and half and ix until blended.  Form into a ball with floured hands and divide in half.  On a floured surface, pat half of the dough into a 6 inch round.  Cut into 8 wedges.  Repeat with the remaining dough.  Transfer the wedges to a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until scones are firm to the touch and golden.

Glaze:

1 tbsp milk
2 - 4 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

While the scones are baking, mix glaze ingredients together.  Remove scones from oven and brush them with glaze while still hot.

Makes 16 scones.
