Oatmeal Nutmeg Scones

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Patricia from Life With a Whisk chose Oatmeal Nutmeg Scones on page 30 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

Hot damn. These scones are good. They're not your Starbucks super-sweet scones. They are nice, slightly sweet and have a great texture with oats and dried fruit.

Don't you just want some of these?! They come together in a jiffy. I make my scones by hand and I added currants to the scones.

    They look so cute and...sconey! Like the ideal scone, I guess. Currants were a great choice.

    Arrghh....I get bummed when I see the name Dorie because I know there won't be a recipe forthcoming! And this is a case in which I seriously would love the recipe. I have the new Dorie cookbook, but not the one those amazing scones come from. The currants are an outstanding addition.
