Ingredients

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups flour
2 cups oatmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup buttemilk
1 egg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Melt butter and set aside.
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine, then add raisins and stir to distribute.
2 cups flour, 2 cups oatmeal, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup raisins
Add milk and egg to small bowl and whisk until egg incorporates fully, then pour in butter and whisk again.
1/3 cup buttemilk, 1 egg
Pour wet ingredients over dry and stir with a spatula just until mixture comes together. Turn out on a jelly pan lined with a silpat. Form into a circle about a half inch tall and cut into eight triangles.
Arrange triangles, four rows, two across with room between to grow a bit. Place into 425 degree oven for 13-15 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown around the edges.
Let cool 3-5 minutes, then serve while still warm. These keep well in a tightly sealed container on your counter for up to two days.

Notes

If you don't have buttermilk, you can easily make a substitute. Add a tablespoon of either lemon juice or vinegar to a measuring cup, then fill it up to the 1 cup mark with whole milk or an even higher fat milk option like cream or half and half. Let it sit for five or ten minutes until it thickens a bit, and you have the perfect buttermilk substitute.
