First Time Not a Charm: Assignment 3

I just joined Baking Club and was delighted to determine that I had all of the ingredients for these scones already in my kitchen.  Since I have never made scones before (I’m more a cookie, quickbread, and occasional cake baker), I was excited to try them.

I pretty much followed the recipe as written, using the old-fashioned oats.  I did not have a biscuit cutter but since my 1/4 cup measure was about the right size,  I used that.

Overall, I’d say the scones were okay.  They were a bit dry, and, while my husband would point out that scones typically are, I think mine were a bit too much so for my taste.  It may be due my caution in making sure the dough was “not sticky.”  The scones crumble very easily.  However, all is not lost; they were improved by a little butter spread on them!

I’m not sure whether I’ll make them again or not.  If I do, I’d add a little more milk to make the dough a little wetter than it was this time.
