- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick or old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp granulated sugar - divided use
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 Tbsp butter

Preparation:
Heat oven to 425° F. Lightly grease cookie sheet; set aside.
Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; mix well. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine milk, egg and vanilla in a small bowl; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir until dry ingredients are just moistened.

Sprinkle evenly over dough in bowl; gently stir batter to swirl in cinnamon mixture (Do not blend completely.)
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 times. Divide dough in half and roll or pat dough into 2 circles (about 8-inches in diameter). Cut each into 6 wedges.
