Aunt Kaye’s Oatmeal Biscuits

Aunt Kaye’s Oatmeal Biscuits

4th Place

Janet McDowall of Truro has fond memories of her aunt Kaye, who was born on a little country road called Goldenville just outside Sherbrooke, NS. Kaye was a great cook, as were her mother and her sisters. They came from a large family and baked bread several times a week.

Janet says she can still smell the yeast from the homemade bread. She recalls that the women were always baking; it’s what you had to do when you lived in the country and had large families and no money during a depression era. Like a lot of women, Kaye had never written this recipe down; she simply added a bit of this, and a scant amount of that. This recipe came about when she was making white biscuits and ran out of flour, so she added oatmeal to stretch the recipe.
