Suggested Recipes
1-3/4 cups (425 mL) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 mL) quick-cooking (not instant) rolled oats
2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar
2-1/2 tsp (12 mL) baking powder

In large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Using pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbly.
