Scottish Scones

This was the first recipe that I posted here a year ago. I finally remembered to take a picture when I made them. They are a like a cross between a biscuit and an oatcake, (a very thick oatcake).

I came across this recipe quite a while ago. It came from a book published in the 1890’s. The book that belonged to a ladies’ grandmother. The book had some hard wear and was not in good shape. We were not allowed to touch the book, only read and copy the recipe.

Scottish Scones

1 1/2 cups flour

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup currents (raisins work just as well)

1/2 cup milk
