Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats (rolled oats)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
Instructions

- Cut the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- You can add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of sugar to the dry ingredients for extra flavor.
- Oatmeal can be replaced with quick oats for a slightly different texture but rolled oats give the best bite.
