Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 75 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Pour the melted butter and sugar mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring well to combine. The mixture should have a crumbly texture.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together but is still slightly crumbly.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it until it holds together. Roll it out to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thick.
Using a round cookie cutter or a small glass, cut out circles from the dough and place them on the prepared baking tray. Gather any scraps, reroll, and repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve on their own or with a spread of butter and jam. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
