Jam Dot Oat Scones

a plate of homemade jam dot oat scones filled with assorted fruit jams
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  12 min

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled
  • heaping ⅓ cup vanilla yogurt (see Note 1)
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • ¾ cup fruit jam

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375° F with a rack in the center position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  3. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients, until it resembles the size of small pebbles.
  4. Stir in the yogurt. Add the quick oats and mix until well incorporated.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 even pieces and roll each into a ball. Gently press each dough ball into thick disks and place them, evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Using the end of a wooden spoon, gently press a small well into the center of each scone (see Note 2)
  6. Transfer the scones to a serving plate and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Fill each scone with 1 tablespoon of jam and serve warm.

Notes

  1. We have found that Greek vanilla yogurt does not work in this recipe. If that is all you have on hand, you might need a little extra to make the dough a little softer.

  2. Create the jam well as soon as the scones come out of the oven, while they are warm and soft.
