Yummy Scones

Cranberry-Walnut Oatmeal Scones

(adapted from a recipe I found online -- these are totally delish!)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Mix together in a bowl:

1 3/4 c all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 c sugar

Cut in 1 stick butter until it's all crumbled up and evenly distributed. 

Stir in:

1 c old-fashioned oatmeal

1/4 c dried cranberries

1/2 c (or so, I didn't measure!) chopped walnuts

Add 2/3 c buttermilk and mix gently.  Scrape the whole mess out onto a clean surface and carefully and lightly knead mixture together, only for a few minutes until you can shape it into a 7" flattened circle.  Cut into 8 equal pieces and place pieces on a baking sheet.  Bake for about 15 minutes or until edges are just beginning to brown.  Don't overbake!

Yum served warm with a tall glass of cold milk!
