Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, and mix well.

  3. 3

    Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse meal.

  4. 4

    Add the milk all at once and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead 5 or 6 times. Place on the prepared baking sheet and pat into a round about 6 inches across and 3/4 inch thick.

  6. 6

    Brush the top with the melted butter. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the top.

  7. 7

    Cut the round into 8 wedges and separate them slightly. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
