Dundee Biscuits

 

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
Sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 400° F.
    
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and oats. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, beat together milk and egg yolk, then stir into flour mixture.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/2" thick. Cut out biscuits with a 1 1/2" round cutter. Reroll the dough and cut more biscuits. At this size, the recipe should make about 18 biscuits.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place biscuits on it.

In a small bowl, beat the egg white. Brush the tops of the biscuits with egg white, and top with sliced almonds.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
