Scotch Oats

When we took the family trip to Nova Scotia in 1995 I bought a cookbook, Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens (Nimbus Publishing Limited, 1989).  My favorite kind of cookbook, one that tells the stories of the recipes within.  Here’s one old recipe…

Scotch Oats
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar (or maple sugar)
2/3 cup melted butter

Spread the rolled oats on a flat shallow pan, together with the brown sugar which has been rubbed in with the fingers.  Add the melted butter and stir to moisten.  Put in a very hot oven for 10 minutes or a slower oven for 20-30 minutes.  Store in glass jars.
Note:  This will burn easily in a hot oven so must be stirred occasionally.
