To prepare these scones, you will typically need to add a few wet ingredients, such as butter, milk, and perhaps an egg, as indicated on the package instructions. Combine the mix with the wet ingredients until just moistened, being careful not to overmix. Shape the dough into scones and bake according to the package directions until golden brown and cooked through. The raisins will soften and plump up during baking, adding bursts of sweetness.
How it differs from similar foods
This mix differs from standard scone mixes by using whole grain oat flour, which provides a heartier texture and a slightly nuttier flavor profile. The inclusion of raisins directly in the mix also sets it apart, offering a convenient way to enjoy this classic addition without needing to measure and incorporate them separately.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps to maintain the freshness of the dry ingredients and prevent the raisins from drying out. Proper storage ensures the mix remains suitable for future baking.
