Scones

• 2 sticks cold unsalted butter
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (as needed)

7. If you'd like to add a filling to scones (such as raisins, chocolate chips, dried fruit, blueberries, cranberries, or chopped nuts), gently stir in 1/2 cup of the filling.
8. Using hands or an ice cream scoop with handle release, shape scone batter into loose balls, 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter.
9. Place on pan 2" apart.
10. Mix remaining 1/2 cups sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of scones.
