Buttermilk Oatmeal Raisin Scones

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. soft margarine
1 cup raisins
1 1/4 cups buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Set aside 1 1/2 tsp. of sugar for the topping. In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, remaining sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Rub in the margarine until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the raisins, then the buttermilk.

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough about 10 times. Divide it into 3 pieces. Pat each piece into a round about 3/4-inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet then cut with a knife to divide each round into four quarters.

Sprinkle with reserved sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve hot.
