Milk

Method

In a bowl, add powdered oats, wheat flour and sugar and mix well. Then add oil or butter, vanilla essence and 1 tbsp milk. Knead well to form a smooth dough. Add a few tsp of milk if necessary. Do not add too much milk as the dough will become sticky. When the dough is ready, divide it into small balls and gently flatten it. Place it in a greased baking tray and bake at 140 degree Celsius for 15 to 20 minutes or till the lower part turns brown. (If you are making it for the first time, keep a close watch over it.) Allow it to cool. Oats date biscuits are ready to be eaten.
