Fruited Oat Scones

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups Oats (Quick or Old Fashioned, uncooked)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tblsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/3 cup margarine
6 ounce pkg (1-1/3 cups) diced dried mixed fruit
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Heat oven to 375 deg F. Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles course crumbs; stir in fruit. Add combined milk and eggs, mixing just until moistened. Shape dough to form a ball. Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead gently 6 times. On lightly greased cookie sheet, pat out dough to form 8-inch circle. With sharp knife, score round into 12 wedges.; sprinkle with combined sugar and cinnamon. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Break apart; serve warm.

Makes 1 scone with as many wedges as you scored.
