Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole milk preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for a perfect bake.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold butter pieces to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, quickly work the butter into the flour and oats until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Milk and Form Dough: Pour the milk into the mixture gradually while stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Roll or pat the dough out to about 1-inch thickness, then use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out round biscuits.
  6. Bake the Biscuits: Place the cut biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm, optionally with butter or jam.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute milk with buttermilk.
  • Do not overwork the dough to keep biscuits light and tender.
  • Oats can be lightly pulsed in a food processor if you prefer a finer texture.
  • Bake on the middle rack to ensure even cooking.
