Description

A yummy family favourite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour, All Purpose
  • 3 cups Rolled Oats
  • ¼ cups Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cups White Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ cups Lard Or Butter
  • ½ cups Ice Cold Water

Preparation

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Cut in butter with a knife or pastry cutter until coarse, mealy crumbs form. Add the ice cold water and stir vigorously with a fork until dough comes together. (The process is very similar to making biscuits, shortcakes and the like—don’t overwork the dough.) Transfer to a lightly floured surface, and shape dough into a ball. Take about a quarter of the dough from the ball, and roll it out to be 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. (Grammie emphasized that you don’t want to over-handle the dough, thus she only rolled and cut a quarter of the dough at a time.) Cut into circles with a biscuit/cookie cutter or inverted drinking glass, or cut into strips with a pizza cutter. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets for baking. Repeat with remaining dough.

Bake at 350°F until golden (check at 8 minutes). Makes about 2 dozen.

Adapted from a family recipe handed down to me by Elsa and Christy Hodder.

They are fantastic, thanks so much for the recipe : ) I do not eat them like in Scotland but I like it with Coffee in the morning or anytime. Here in Nova Scotia we have a local Italian market that sales this biscuits and my wife and I just, really enjoy them, now I’m going to surprise her with this recipe : ) thanks
