Good Old-Fashioned Scotch Oat Bread

Take 1 cup standard oatmeal, 1 cup Five Roses flour, 1 small teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder. Rub in butter size of an English walnut or more. Into this pour enough cold water to make a stiff dough as dry as possible, just as if you were trying to make good pie crust.

Spread on board by hand pressure, and keep the edges from parting by the support of one hand while you spread with the other. At the last, roll your rolling pin over it to smoothen the surface. Get it ¼ inch thick, cut in squares, put in moderate oven and bake until it is quite hard through. -C. Mc Gillivray, Mission City, B.C.
