Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rolled oats
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 25 grams Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sugar to evenly distribute it throughout the mixture.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and use your hands to gently bring the mixture together into a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thick. Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds of dough.
Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Irish Oaten Biscuits cookies with a hot cup of tea or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
