Scottish Oat Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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)

Preparation

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.
