Whole Wheat Oat Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, cold
1 cup rolled oats, toasted (old fashioned)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 pinch salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup currants

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a large baking sheet (I use parchment paper).
Dice the butter. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the butter and rub inches Set aside. In another bowl whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Set aside 2 tablespoons for glazing.
Stir the remaining egg mixture into the dry ingredients to form a dough. Stir in the currants.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3/4 inch thick. Stamp out rounds with a floured cutter. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the reserved egg mixture.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Leve to cool slightly before serving.
