Oatmeal & Walnut Hot Biscuit (Scone)

Operation Time / 20 min Oven Temperature / 400 F Baking Time / 25 min

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare another cookie sheet and roast the walnuts until lightly browned - 3-5 min. Let cool completely.

Soak the oatmeal in the milk for 5 min and put aside until use.

Prepare a medium mixing bowl and a stick mixer with blade inserts.

Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar.

Cut the butter into small squares and add to the bowl.

Using the stick mixer, mix to a texture of coarse crumbs (if you don't have a machine, you can use your fingertips).

Move the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the milk mixture and roasted walnuts to the dry mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix well.

Divide the dough into 6 portions.

Place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack.
