These are oaty, crumbly and utterly delicious biscuits from a traditional irish baking book. They can be made into various form, e.g. clovers or fingers (like shortbread fingers) or whatever other shapes you might fancy.

20 biscuits (change servings and units)

Ingredients

180 g oat bran (6 1/3 oz)
100 g oats (3 5/8 oz)
140 g flour (5 oz)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
50 g icing sugar (1 7/8 oz)
180 g melted butter (6 1/3 oz)

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
2
Combine oat bran, oats, sugar, flour and baking soda in a big bowl. Add butter and mix well. If your dough is too dry, add some water to it until you can work it.
3
Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut out cookies in desired shape (if making shortbread fingers, dont forget to prick them before baking).
4
Bake for about 15 minutes until cookies are golden and crispy.

These may be wonderful, but could we have American measurements, too? I know we Americans aren't the only ones who enjoy Recipezaar, but there are a lot of us...*S* I'd love to try these biscuits if you could translate the grams. Thanks so much!

I was looking for a crisp oatmeal biscuit, not a cookie... which is why this recipe appealed to me - and it was exactly what I wanted. It's not a sweet cookie, and I found the recipe really easy to make, particularly when I realized that I didn't need to roll it out, I just shaped it into balls and flattened them. I did need to add a scant 1/4 cup of water to the dough, as suggested. For those baking in cups, here are the conversions I figured out by weighing the ingredients: 1 3/4 cups oat bran, 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup icing sugar, and 3/4 cup butter. Thanks Lalaoula! Made for 1-2-3 Hits Tag.
