Servings: persons

1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick cooking or instant)
2 cups whole spelt flour
1/2 cup natural brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons softened unsalted butter

1/2 cup buttermilk or 1/2 cup plain kefir
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (do not spray or oil) and set aside.
2
In a blender, pulverize the oats until you have coarse flour.
3
Place the oats in a large mixing bowl. Add the spelt flour, cane sugar, baking powder, cardamom, baking soda, and salt.
4
Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until it is well mixed and the flour resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
5
In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla. Add this to the flour and oat mixture. Stir to combine.
6
Gently fold in the cherries.
7
Drop the scones into 8 rounded balls on the parchment-lined cookie sheet a couple of inches apart from one another. The scones will rise and enlarge considerably.
8
Bake until golden brown, about 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean.
9
Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
