Blueberry Oat Scones

2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c oat flour
1 1/2 c rolled oats
1/2 c vanilla sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 sticks cold butter, cut into small pieces
2 eggs
4 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 c + 1 Tbsp buttermilk
1/2 c dried blueberries or apricots, optional
2 Tbsp cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the flours and oats in a food processor and process briefly. Add vanilla sugar, baking powder, salt and butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla and buttermilk. Add to dry mixture and process until a sticky dough is formed.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently just until the dough holds together, about 6 turns. Pat the dough into a 3/4" thick round (or half as thick, if adding fruit in the middle) and cut scones into squares or triangles with a sharp knife.

Place scones about 1" apart on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar. Bake until crusty and golden brown, about 17 minutes. Serve immediately.
