Old style Irish oatmeal treats make healthy snacks
Cream margarine & sugar. Put in half of the meal and flour. Stir ingredients together.
Place the remainder of the meal & flour on a board. Turn out the mixture from the bowl onto the board. Knead in remaining meal & flour then roll out (about 3/4") and precut into squares.
Cook in a slow (350 degree) oven till light brown. "Use your gumption, if you have any, about when they are finished. Roughly 30 - 45 minutes I think".
"These biscuits taste much nicer if you can teach your husband to make them for you, not that I was successful". N.F.P.
* NOTES:
This handwritten recipe was in the back of my Mom's (Maureen Romfh) copy of "Irish American Cookery Book" dated 1937. She brought it with her when she immigrated to America in 1947 from Belfast, Northern Ireland. "N.F.P." refers to Nita (Anita) Florence Palmer, Maureen's mother.
Biscuits in Ireland are more closely translated in America as Cookies.
Flake Meal is approximated by rolled oats or oatmeal in the U.S.
The orginal recipe called for 7 oz. of oats and 1 oz. of flour. After a test batch we adjusted the ratio a bit to account for difference in American ingredients. Then the recipe was doubled to make 24 servings.
