Ingredients for Irish Soda Bread Scones

1 cup of heavy cream or half & half

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1/2 stick of melted butter

1 cup of buttermilk

3 1/2 cups of flour

1/2 cup of oats

2 tablespoons of brown sugar

2 tablespoons of baking powder

1 teaspoon of The Spice Apothecary’s Apple Pie Spice

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of craisins

For the egg wash:

1 beaten egg

2 tablespoons of heavy cream

Sanding sugar

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Measure out 1 cup of heavy cream or half & half, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 1/2 stick of butter, melted and one cup of buttermilk.

Measure the dry ingredients: 3 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of oats, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of The Spice Apothecary’s Apple Pie Spice, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and one cup of craisins.

Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the bowl of a mixer and whisk; slowly add in all of the liquids and lightly stir.

Add in the oats, craisins, Apple Pie Spice and brown sugar; mix on medium low until just combined.  Do not over mix or the scones will be tough.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface; form into a disc shape.

Cut the dough into halves and make each half into a disc; cut each disc into quarters and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment and sprayed with cooking spray.

Combine the egg and cream and brush the tops of each scone.  Sprinkle with the sanding sugar to taste.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.  Cool on a wire rack or serve warm.

Enjoy!
