Light As Air Oatmeal Biscuits

Ingredients:

1 cup whole oats (ground)

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour

1/2 cup butter (room temperature)

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

1 1/2 tbsps. sugar

1 1/2 tbsps. baking powder

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/3-1/2 cup skim milk (substitute for non dairy milk)

 

Directions:

Step 1: Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees and grind 1 cup whole rolled oats in your food processor.  Combine all of the ingredients except the milk in your mixer with the paddle attachment.  Mix on a medium speed until the mixture looks crumbly, then slowly add the milk just until the dough comes together (I used closer to 1/3 cup of the milk). 

Step 2: Roll out the dough on a floured surface, until about 1/2 inch thick.  Use the biscuit cutter size of your choice (I used a small one and this recipe made 20 biscuits), cut the biscuits and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bottoms become golden brown.
