Oatmeal Cakes

Boil in three-quarters of a pint of milk three ounces oatmeal with saltspoon salt for twenty minutes; let cool off. Then add three ounces sifted flour, two ounces sugar and half teaspoon baking powder. Knead with the hand for five minutes; then roll out on a lightly floured table, to the thickness of three-quarters of an inch. Then cut into six equal round pieces. Place on a lightly buttered pastry pan, lightly wet the surface with a little milk. Set in a moderate oven to bake for fifteen minutes. Remove, split open without separating, lightly butter the interior of each and serve hot.
