Wow. I just tried this recipe from a recipe. Very tasty and wholesome (aside from the large amount of butter used). Leftovers make a great breakfast on the run.
Ingredients:
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar (I use raw sugar)
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 & 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup raisins (I always plump mine in hot water for 10 minutes before using, and drain - makes them more tender).
2 large eggs
10 tbsp butter (melted)
1/3 cup milk
In a large bowl, mix: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Stir in oats and raisins.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter and milk. Add to dry mixture, stirring until the ingredients are moistened.
The batter will be pretty sticky. If it seems too sticky to handle, add just a little flour… also try letting it sit for a few minutes (giving the dry ingredients time to soak up the moisture).
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into a circle that’s about 3/4″ thick. Sprinkle with cinnamon and just a hint of sugar.
Cut with a butter knife. If the dough sticks to it, rub it with a little flour. Cut into pie shape wedges, in the portion size that you desire. Using the knife as a spatula, lift the wedges and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, spaced approx 1/2″ apart. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes.
Other ideas: substitute other reconstituted (dried) fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, dates, cherries, apple pieces. I’ll have to experiment a little with using fresh fruit and see how that turns out. I’ll get back to you that.
