--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     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.
