Oat Biscuits
"A slightly sweet biscuit with a crisp exterior and tender interior. We especially love them with sausage gravy or hamburger gravy over them. Because they aren't a flaky biscuit, you will need to cut them open or just put any butter or spreads on the top. They are also good with a stew."

Made these for the first time this morning. Because we are having to be calorie conscious, I tried reducing the sugar to 1 tablespoon. It turned out just fine. -
These were really good with the stew I fixed the other night. They reminded me of a drop biscuit. We can't wait to try them with sausage gravy! I had had these at a friends house years ago and was glad to finally have the recipe myself. Thanks for sharing! Update: I used them with the hamburger version of Recipe #99991 and they were fabulous! This combination is a new favorite in our house. :) -
We had these excellent biscuits with some beef stew last week. Even though I burnt the bottoms, they were still delicious. I loved the texture, and the sugar added just a bit of sweetness to them. I didn't bother rolling them out, just dropped them on a pan and patted them flat with my hand (I wet my hand so the dough wouldn't stick). I ate them with honey and molasses and they were perfect. We will make these again. -
Excellent biscuits. We tried them fresh out of the oven with butter, and later, when cool, with peanut butter. Wish I had some stew to try them with. Next time, I'll make a double batch. The texture is not like a regular biscuit, and the flavor is slightly sweet and nutty.
