mOMent: How do you love? What is your method? How would a person know that you love them?
Yes, it’s been ages since I posted…I know I know. But it hasn’t been for lack of experimenting. I’ll have the last weeks oms up sometime this weekend so you can see what I was up to while visiting with family. Meanwhile, this is a great little experiment that happened in the kitchen this morning. I have been in love with Isa’s scone recipe and I started thinking about how I could incorporate oatmeal into the recipe successfully. Well, my hubby and co-workers agree that these are pretty darn tasty. Have fun!
Ingredients
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup oatmeal plus a little more for baking
2 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 heaping cup sugar (plus an extra tsp (or more) for sprinkling on top)
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil plus about a tablespoon more
1/2 cup Rice Dream horchata
3/4 cup Rice Dream horchata plus 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
½-1 tsp cinnamon, plus more to sprinkle on top
½-1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Makes 12-16 scones
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar,
and salt.
Add oatmeal, horchata and horchata/vinegar mix. Mix until just combined; the dough should be clumpy and not sticky. Even if
there is still a light dusting of flour, that’s okay.
Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto the greased cookie sheet and pat the tops
just a little bit to round them out; sprinkle with a bit of sugar, oatmeal and cinnamon.
Bake 12-15 minutes until slightly browned on the bottom and firm on
the top.
Is there anything better than horchata? YES! Horchata with raisins!
Ingredients:
1 C cooked old-fashioned oats
2 T horchata icing
2 T raisins
Directions: Mix in with hot oatmeal and try not to eat it too fast…it’s pretty darn tasty…
Om,
Renata
mOMent: Is honesty always the best policy? Is being blunt the same as telling the truth? In what ways can you change the way you share the truth with the ones you love. How can you be more compassionate in your delivery of difficult conversations?
