 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2/3   c            Butter -- melted
    1/3   c            Milk
  1                    Egg
  1 1/2   c            All-purpose flour
  1 1/4   c            Quick Quaker Oats -- uncooked
    1/4   c            Sugar
  1       tb           Baking powder
  1       ts           Cream of tartar
    1/2   ts           Salt
    1/2   c            Raisins or currants

 Preheat oven to 425°F. Plump raisins.

 Add butter, milk, and egg to combined dry ingredients; mix just
 until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in raisins. Shape dough
 to form ball; pat out on lightly floured surface to form 8" circle.
 Cut into 8 to 12 wedges; bake on greased cookie sheet in preheated
 hot oven (425°F) for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown.
 Serve warm at breakfast or brunch with butter, preserves, or honey,
 as desired.

 Made as above, with butter, these are absolutely wonderful! The
 buttery aroma is to die for! However, I seldom make them that way
 because of the cholesterol and because my wife and I almost always
 use whole wheat flour.
