You may be scared off by the whipping cream in this recipe, but don't be! It replaces the fat usually used in scones. This is a nice savory scone and goes well with dinner as well as a more rustic tea.
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. oat bran
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. dried basil leaves or 3 tsp fresh if you have
1 cup whipping cream
1 tsp. oat bran
Heat oven to 425 degrees and grease a cookie sheet. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-1/4 cups flour, baking powder, salt, 3 Tbsp. oat bran, cheese and basil. Reserve 1 tsp. of the cream. Add remaining cream to flour mixture and stir just until a soft wet dough forms. If dough is too wet, add more flour, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until dough is easy to handle but still sticky.
On floured surface, knead gently 5-6 times. Do not overknead or they will be hard.Place dough on greased cookie sheet and pat to a 6" circle. Cut or score into 8 wedges, but do not separate wedges. Brush with reserved cream and sprinkle with 1 tsp. oat bran. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with basil butter.
