Scottish Oat Biscuits

Total Time: 17 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 15
• 3 cups quaker quick oats or 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup flour or 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup plain yogurt
• sliced cheddar cheese (optional)
• cinnamon sugar (optional)

Recipe

• 1 combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt and mix well.
• 2 add the butter and mix well (a food processor is ideal, but a pastry blender will work).
• 3 add enough buttermilk to make a stiff dough-- it may take up to 1 1/3 cups-- and mix until moistened.
• 4 roll the dough 1/4 to 1/8-inch thick and cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter, then place on a greased baking sheet.
• 5 bake at 450 (the directions just say"hot oven") until firm (or until hard and crisp, per the original directions), about 8 to 12 minutes.
