Scottish Oat Biscuits image

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.

Time 17m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt and mix well.
  • Add the butter and mix well (a food processor is ideal, but a pastry blender will work).
  • 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 (the directions just say"hot oven") until firm (or until hard and crisp, per the original directions), about 8 to 12 minutes.
