Pecans and oatmeal take center stage in these tender treats from Margaret Wilson. "They are delicious with jam or marmalade," says the Hemet, California reader. "I also like them with sharp cheddar cheese or a dab of relish at supper."

    8 scones

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    Awesome! Easy to make. I burnt the pecans so I didn't add them. Made the buttermilk. Baked mine on a round stone greased with canola oil for about 18 min.
