From Bon Appetit Magazine
3 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
11 tablespoons (1 stick plus 3 tablespoons) chilled unsalted butter, cut into

1 cup plus 3 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (about 51/2 ounces)
1 3/4 cups chilled half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 teaspoons raw sugar*
*Also called turbinado or demerara sugar; available at most supermarkets and

tossing until dough just comes together (dough will be very moist).
Using 1/2 cup measuring cup for each scone, drop dough in mounds onto
prepared baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Sprinkle tops with remaining 3
tablespoons oats, then raw sugar.
