Description

Ingredients
•
2 cups rolled oats
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup dried currants
•
1/4 cup white sugar
•
4 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1 egg, beaten
•
1/2 cup butter, melted
•
1/3 cup milk
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2
Mix together oats, flour, currants, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Beat egg in a medium bowl until frothy; stir in melted butter and milk. Pour into the well and mix until a soft dough forms.
3
Transfer dough to a clean work surface. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces, then pat each piece into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Place dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet; score each into 8 wedges.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until risen and browned, about 15 minutes. Split wedges and serve warm.
