Blatantly Bookish | Stay at Home Vlog | Baking Scones, Jane Austen, and Terry Pratchett @BlatantlyBookish | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In which I casually chat with you (and ramble on about) what I've been reading, and what I've been baking! See below for a rather delicious oat scone recipe!
Also, I am the Queen of Misspeaking: The DiscWORLD series has a subseries with a character named RinceWIND, and Miss Austen is different from The Other Bennet Sister. Apologies for any confusion.
BOOKS MENTIONED:
-Eric by Terry Pratchett (#9 in Discworld Series, Rincewind subseries)
-The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow
-Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
-Miss Austen by Gill Hornby

OAT SCONE RECIPE
(Warning: These are scrumptious, but a far cry from traditional English scones. They are quick, easy, and go perfectly with a nice cup of tea. Sadly, clotted cream is not common in America)
Ingredients:
-1.5 cups flour
-2 cups rolled oats
-1/4 cup sugar
-4 teaspoons baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/2 cup dried fruit (I am partial to dried cherries. Sometimes I do 1/4 cup dried fruit and 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks)
-1 egg, beaten
-1/2 cup melted butter or oil (I've tried both. It doesn't matter much)
-1/3 cup milk (or milk substitute)
------
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease baking sheet.
2. Mix flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, dried fruit, and baking powder in large bowl.
3. Beat egg and stir in melted butter/oil and milk.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix until combined. (Makes a very stiff, dry dough).
5. Roll into shapes and place on baking sheet(I use a 1/4 cup per scone) Score scones with knife. Bake until golden brown. (10-15 mins. Usually done at 10 mins, but it depends on the oven).
Enjoy!
