Ingredients
6 oz self-raising whole meal flour
2 oz fine oatmeal
1 level teaspoon salt
3 oz butter, softened
1 oz soft brown sugar
4 tablespoons milk
Method
Set oven to 375F or mark 5.
Put the flour, oatmeal, and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sugar and enough milk to bind to a firm dough.
Roll out on a floured surface to ¼ inch thickness.
Cut into 3-inch rounds with a pastry cutter and prick evenly all over with a fork.
Transfer to a floured baking sheet and bake for approx. 20 minutes until lightly browned.
Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve plain or buttered with cheese.
