REC: Scotch Teas

2 cups quick oats

3/4 cup brown sugar

 1 tsp. baking powder

 1/4 tsp.  salt

1/2 cup butter melted

In a large bowl combine oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and mix well. Stir in butter and press down evenly into a buttered 8x8 dish.  bake for 20-25 minutes at 350º or till golden brown.  Cool on rack and slice into bars! 

These things are wonderful!!!! 

These sound just like a recipe I made years ago.  I forgot about them. They are tasty!  I'll have to make them again.   I have soooo many recipes, but this one isn't saved on my computer, where my recipes are a little more organized.        

Tink have you ever doubled this recipe and made it in a 9x13 pan?  I bake for coffee hour after church or if we're having company.  An 8x8 pan wouldn't make enough for either.  TIA

Hey Carol! I dont see why it wouldnt work.  Its a very simple recipe and I would do it without a second thought.  Hope you try them.

Its a delicious recipe for sure!

Thanks Tink.  I think I'll give this one a try for coffee hour next January.  HMMM!  We're having a potluck Jan 13.  Might be a good recipe to make for that.

Thanks, Tink, these look great!

Tink,

You weren't kidding...these are fantastic! They are a sure-fire butter-and-brown-sugar delivery system, though (and I say that in a good way). I love them, and will make them often. In fact, I am thinking about making them again today. For me, they are in the category of "scary good."

I recommend dark brown sugar and unsalted butter. 

Tip: cut them into 24 pieces while hot, but don't remove them from the pan into the storage container until they are completely cooled, or they will fall apart. They don't have any flour in them to hold them together, so they must be cool.

 They sound great! Thanks for sharing, Tink, and Dorothy, for your pointers!

These do sound very good!
