Welcome to my blog - some recipes, some family stories and fun with firearms. Tonight a family favorite for breakfast. Yes, the blog is Mausers and Muffins and I'm starting out with a scone here, (which, baked from a bad recipe, can be a lot heavier and thus more deadly than the muffin) but Sigs and Scones just didn't have the same ring to it. :-)
All I could think of was
Sigs and Stones Can Break Your Bones. . . .
Oh never mind.
The recipe is easy to put together, even for an inexperienced baker. It's got lots of oatmeal and is fairly low in sugar, a delicious, filling treat with a cup of coffee or a glass or milk for the small ones. If you don't have buttermilk, simply add a couple teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice to your milk and let sit 15 minutes first.
Ingredients
3/4 cup uncooked quick-cooking oats
1/3 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut up
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
Vegetable cooking spray
For topping:
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk
Preparation

1. Bake oats in a 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pan at 400° for 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.
2. Combine oats and next 5 ingredients.
3. Cut butter into oats mixture with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Stir together 2/3 cup buttermilk and egg. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened and dough forms.
4. Turn dough out onto a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Shape dough into a 7 1/2-inch circle.
5. Combine 3 Tbsp. sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Brush dough with 1 1/2 Tbsp. buttermilk. Sprinkle with sugar mixture.
6. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cut into 8 wedges; serve immediately.
