ROLLED OATS SHORTBREAD
Another recipe from an old 1960's cookbook. I've been making these a couple times a year for 40 years. They are crispy and butter flavoured and so good. Use quick cooking oats. I use the dough hook to mix when it gets too hard for the K beater. Instead of rolling out I find it easier to pat into a 9"x 13" cookie sheet with 1/2" in sides. I use parchment paper. Score into about 1 1/2" pieces and bake. When baked cut along score lines and you have nice square cut cookies.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose the right oats. Not all oats are created equal! For rolled oats, look for oats that are labeled "old-fashioned" or "regular." These oats have a chewy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. Quick-cooking oats are a good choice if you're short on time, but they have a softer texture and a milder flavor.
- Use the right ratio of oats to liquid. The general rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of oats to 2 cups of liquid. However, you may need to adjust this ratio depending on the type of oats you're using and the desired consistency.
- Cook the oats over medium heat. This will help to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Stir the oats frequently. This will help to ensure that the oats cook evenly.
- Season the oats to taste. You can add salt, sugar, butter, or milk to taste. You can also add spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, or dried fruits, such as raisins or cranberries.
- Serve the oats immediately. Oatmeal is best served hot, but it can also be enjoyed cold.
Conclusion:
Rolled oats are a versatile and healthy grain that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a hearty and satisfying meal, rolled oats are a great choice. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of oatmeal that will keep you satisfied all day long.
