Scotch Wafers

Scotch Wafers

Ingredients:
1 cup fine oatmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Rolled Oats
1/8 teaspoon soda
2 cups flour
1/4 cup butter or lard
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup hot water

Directions:
Mix first six ingredients. Melt shortening in water and add to first mixture. Toss on a floured
board, pat, and roll as thinly as possible. Shape with a cutter, or with a sharp knife cut in
strips.
Bake on a buttered sheet in a slow oven. These are well adapted for children’s luncheons, and
are much enjoyed by the convalescent, taken with a glass of milk.
