I just could not allow St Patrick’s Day to come and go without adding more Irish favorites. And yes, I will probably embarrass my Irish Wolfhounds when I put the green shamrock antennas on them again. Photos will be posted! LOL!
- 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Quick Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup firmly packed Light Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 5 tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cup Golden Raisins
- 2/3 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large whole Egg
Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease one 8 inch round baking pan. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into the dry mix with a pastry blender or knife until the dough is coarse crumbs. Fold in raisins. Wipe the buttermilk and egg together and stir it into the flour dough until just mixed. Press the dough into the baking dish and score the dough deeply into 8 wedges. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes. Serve with butter or apple butter.
