Scottish Oat Biscuits


This recipe appeared on the quaker oats box in 1908 and again from 1909 to 1913. It's hearty and grainy, delicious topped with cheese, cinnamon-sugar butter, or served with soup. Original directions didn't specify an oven temperature, so i selected 450.

Steps


Combine the oats , flour , baking soda and salt and mix well.
Add the butter and mix well.
Add enough buttermilk to make a stiff dough-- it may take up to 1 1 / 3 cups-- and mix until moistened.
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.
Bake at 450 until firm , about 8 to 12 minutes.
