Savory Tea Scones

Submitted by: Ann Weekley

This is a healthy recipe as olive oil substitutes for the usual butter, oatmeal gives a rustic texture and Pu Erh adds a subtle but earthy flavor.

Ingredients:
Dry ingredients:
One cup quick oats
Two tablespoons of honey
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 heaping tablespoon of Pu Erh tea

To this add:
2 eggs
10 tablespoons of olive oil
2/3 cup buttermilk.

Directions:
In a 400 degree oven toast oats for 8-10 minutes. Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. To the dry ingredients add the eggs, oil and buttermilk. Stir just till ingredients are moistened. Let stand for five minutes.
Pat the dough into two six inch rounds, cut each round into six wedges. Brush the top with a little olive oil. Bake for 16-18 minutes in the 400 degree oven.
