Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a big bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Then, cut in the shortening until the mixture looks crumbly with just a few small chunks left. Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla, stirring everything until it just comes together.

Step 2
Next, shape the dough into scones about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick, and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until they’re golden brown on top. Once they’re out, let them cool for about 5 minutes before sprinkling a little powdered sugar over the top. Enjoy!
