Maple Oat Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Whisk both flours, oats, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a bowl. Cut the butter into pieces and add it to the bowl. Work it in with your fingers, pastry blender, or with a fork.
3. 3
   In a separate bowl, combine the milk and the syrup. Add these to the butter and flour mixture and bring everything together to form a soft dough.
4. 4
   Using 2 tablespoons (the dough will be sticky so you can do what I did and just use your hands), drop the dough onto your prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they begin to brown on the edges. Serve warm with butter and jam, obviously.
