Comment on Toasted oats add flavor and crunch to hearty maple scones

By CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Scones are a traditional British and Irish baked good, with a tender crumb that’s somewhere between a quick bread and a biscuit. To give these hearty scones a deep, sweet flavor with amplified nuttiness and texture, we bake our oats with maple syrup for a toasty, granola-like crunch. In this recipe from our cookbook “Milk Street Bakes,” we process a portion of the oat mixture with the other dry ingredients to distribute the flavor and texture through every bite.
