Streusel Oat Scones

Streusel-Oat Scones
from Cooking Light

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar object
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chilled stick margarine, cut into small pieces [I used butter]
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
Cooking spray
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon margarine, melted [butter]
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1) Preheat oven to 450°.
2) Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; cut in 1/4 cup margarine with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stirring just until flour mixture is moist.
3) Turn dough out onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle; set aside.
4) Combine oats, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon margarine, and 1 tablespoon flour, forming a streusel. Gently pat oats mixture into surface of dough. Cut dough into 12 wedges (do not separate wedges).
5) Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
Makes twelve scones.
