Preparation
Step 1
Directions
Heat oven to 425°F.
Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
In food processor, combine flour, oats, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well.
Cut butter into 5-6 pieces, add to food processor, and pulse until butter is size of small peas--do not over pulse.
Transfer dry mixture to larger bowl.
I add wet ingredients to dry ingredients all at once; stir with fork or rubber spatula until dry ingredients are moistened.
In another small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with the pecans and cinnamon; mix well.
Sprinkle evenly over dough in bowl; gently stir batter to swirl in cinnamon mixture (Do not blend completely.).
Drop dough by 1/4 cupful 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
Bake 11-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack; cool 5 minutes.***.
Glaze:.
In small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, grated orange zest and enough orange juice or milk for desired consistency; mix until smooth.
Drizzle over top of warm scones.
Serve warm.
***When I make these, I have 9 scones and it takes 18 minutes to bake them in my oven.
