From Legend of Luke, these scones are meant to resemble the bricks from which the abbey is built.

1 cup flour 1 cup oats 1/8 tsp salt ¼ cup butter 2 Tbsp crystallized honey ½ cup chopped nuts ½ cup preserved cherries with juice, or fresh cherries, pitted and mashed, or cherry jam, or cherry pie filling allspice

Optional colorants: 1 Tbsp beet juice, or beet powder, or mashed red berries (strawberries, raspberries, cranberries), or berry juice

Preheat oven to 425 ° F.

Stir flour, oats, and salt into a bowl. Cut in butter and honey until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add nuts, cherries, and optional ingredients. Add a few tablespoons more juice if necessary to make a dough, but not too sticky.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead a little until it's cohesive. Place the dough on a baking sheet that is either greased or lined with parchment, and roll or press it into a rectangular shape. Cut it into smaller rectangles. Sprinkle allspice on top.

Bake for 10 minutes.

+ Pear & Rosemary

2 cups flour ½ tsp salt ¼ cup butter ¾ cup apple, grated or finely chopped 3 Tbsp honey 1 cup sour cream 1 egg 1 tsp baking powder cinnamon and sugar

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Stir together flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in butter until crumbly and there's no more dry powder. Stir in apple, honey, sour cream and egg until combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease the sheet. Use a dough scoop to make round, small scones. Gently press down the tops of each scone to make them flat. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.

Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the bottoms of the scones are light brown.

Remove from oven, cool slightly on the sheet pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variation:

Use pears instead of apples, add ¼ tsp dried rosemary to dough, and exclude the cinnamon sugar.
