Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup dried currants

  • 1/4 cup white sugar

  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 large egg

  • 11/2 cup butter melted

  • 1/3 cup milk

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

  • Mix together oats, flour, currants, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Beat egg in a medium bowl until frothy; stir in melted butter and milk. Pour into the well and mix until a soft dough forms.

  • Transfer dough to a clean work surface. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces, then pat each piece into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Place dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet; score each into 8 wedges.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until risen and browned, about 15 minutes. Split wedges and serve warm.
