Strawberry Oatmeal Scones

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup plus 1 T Smart Balance 50/50 blend, cold, cut into small pieces

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. — I did not use either and they turned out fine.
2
Whisk together the egg substitute and buttermilk and set aside. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.
3
Add the cold butter pieces and cut in with a pastry blender or your hands, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Pour in the buttermilk mixture and stir with a stiff wooden spoon until just incorporated. Gently mix in the chopped strawberries. The mixture will be very sticky.
5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly flour surface and gently knead 8-10 times and press the dough into a disk about 1 1/2 inches thick.
6
Portion the dough into about 12 wedges or balls and transfer to the baking sheet. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool about 10 minutes before serving.
