Oatmeal Biscuits

Mix with one pound of oatmeal half a pound of flour and one tablespoonful of baking-powder, rub in half a pound of butter, and, when it is smooth, stir in enough warm water to knead the whole into a paste, turn onto a table, and roll it out very thin. Cut the paste into rounds, lay them on a baking-sheet, and bake in the oven. When they are cooked, leave the biscuits until they are cold, then pack them in biscuit-tins, and keep them in a dry cupboard. They are served at luncheon very often.
