Irish Soda Bread Scones are a humble rustic pastry you can quickly make for breakfast on a cozy morning. Biscuit-like with toasted oats around the edges. These simple scones are subtly sweet, especially with the currents and bits of orange zest that find their way into each bite. After breakfast, set one more aside for a delicious mid-morning snack.

Soda Bread Scones

Rose McAvoy
Soda Bread Scones are a humble rustic pastry you can quickly make for breakfast on a cozy morning. Almost a biscuit with toasted oats around the edges. They are just sweet enough to feel like a treat especially with the currents and bits of orange zest that find their way into each bite. Don't forget to wrap one up for a special mid-morning snack.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup dried currents
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup low fat buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and use a fork to blend them together. Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the maple syrup and half of the buttermilk. Use the fork to begin blending the dry ingredients into the buttermilk. When the puddle has been mixed in add half of the remaining buttermilk and continue mixing. Add the remaining buttermilk slowly until a soft dough has formed, use your hands if needed. It should be moist but not too sticky to pick up with your hands.
  • Turn the dough on to a floured surface and shape into a disc about 10 inches across and 1 inch thick. Use a 2 inch round biscuit cutter to cut the scones. Begin at the edge and draw the dough toward the center as you cut to get all 12 formed without reshaping the dough. If needed reshape the dough into a disc to finish cutting the scones. - To form the scones without a biscuit cutter shape the dough into three small discs and cut each disc into 4 wedges.
  • Place scones on the prepared cookie sheet leaving a few inches on all sides to give them room to expand. Optional: Use a pastry brush to the tops of each scone with a thin layer of buttermilk and sprinkle a pinch of sugar over the tops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes until the tops are a deep golden color.

Notes

optional finishing touch: brush tops with a tiny bit of buttermilk and sprinkle a pinch of course raw sugar over each scone before baking.
