Name: Oat Biscuits

What you need

Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.

Melt the butter, stir into oats, flour and sugar with a splash of milk. Press into rounds on a tray and bake fifteen minutes.

They firm up dramatically as they cool, which is alarming until you know.

Press them thin. Thick ones stay soft in the middle and never go snappy.
