COOKING WITH NORMA!
Lovely Norma Shearer shows you how to make Canadian Oatmeal Sticks. Sift together 3 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Scald 1 and 1/2 cups milk, pour on 1/2 cup oatmeal and allow to cool. Work 1/2 cup of butter into the flour, then add oatmeal and milk and knead together until smooth.
Roll dough into sticks the size of a lead pencil and bake for 10 minutes in a fairly hot oven. And there you have a new delicacy for the tea table! Straight from Norma's family to yours.
"I remember Momma making oatmeal sticks and cookies back home in Westmont. Douglas, Athole and I would wait near the oven until it was time to take them out. The cold Quebec winters made a hot treat after school even more special. I hope you enjoy this little treat from my home to yours."
