Oat Cherry SconesBy Michelle Stern, What’s Cooking with Kids

1/2 cup oat flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup dried cherries
3 Tablespoons melted butter
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer), combine the flours, oats, baking powder, salt and cherries.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, egg and buttermilk.
4. Pour the liquids into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Line a baking sheet with a silpat (silicone baking sheet) or parchment paper.
6. Drop the batter onto the baking sheet using a 1/4 cup scoop, leaving several inches between each scone.
7. Bake until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes.
