OAT CRANBERRY SCONES 
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 egg
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone sheet.

In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Whisk sour cream/yogurt and egg in small bowl until blended. Stir into flour mixture until dough comes together. Stir in cranberries.

Cut circle into 8 wedges (like pizza slices). Arrange pieces on baking sheet, 1-inch apart. Brush with melted butter, milk or cream.

Bake for 18-20 minutes. Serve while still warm.
