Scotch Wafers

Ingredients

• 1 cup fine oatmeal
• 1 cup Rolled Oats
• 2 cups flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon soda
• ¼ cup butter or lard
• ½ cup hot water

Steps

1. 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.
