Scottish Oat and Walnut Biscuits
Description
The preparation involves finely grinding oats and walnuts in a food processor before combining with oat flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Buttermilk and melted butter are added and pulsed until the mixture forms a cohesive dough. If too wet, additional flour can be incorporated. The dough is rolled to about 3/8 inch thickness and cut into 2 1/2 inch rounds. Pricking the crackers with a fork is optional as they do not puff while baking. Baking at 350°F yields biscuits with a crisp bite and dense texture from the whole oats and walnuts.
These biscuits are well suited as an accompaniment to soups or stews or enjoyed alone as a wholesome snack. Their oat and nut composition provides a satisfying, rustic flavor. They can be stored in airtight containers to maintain crispness.
