So, I make my own using 2% non-fat organic milk and lemon juice. Typically, its about 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice per cup of milk, so for the 3\/4 cup of low-fat buttermilk called for in the scone recipe, I take a 1 cup measure and add in 2 tablespoons lemon juice, then I add the milk to bring the total liquid up to 3\/4 cup measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li> 1 1\/4 cups oats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 1\/2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/2 cup granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 teaspoons baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/2 cup chopped dates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3\/4 cup low-fat buttermilk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cooking spray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spread oats on a baking sheet and bake in the 450\u00b0F oven for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted, stirring half-way through.

Brush the melted butter over the dough. Cut the dough into 12 wedges, then sprinkle the dough with the remaining 1\/4 cup of toasted oats. Bake in the 450\u00b0F oven for 12 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
