Jessamine's rough riders

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Fat
1 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Cloves
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Salt
⅓ cup Sour milk
2 cups Oatmeal
1 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup Raisins
1 cup Pecans

Directions

Sift soda with flour. Mix all ingredients. Shape into rounds about 2" across. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Auntie's recipe did not have: vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, or raisins. She used whole wheat flour and a little less sugar (scant cup).

NOTES : These are sort of cookies, but not too sweet. They were one of my childhood favorites. My mother used to let me have them for breakfast. My great aunt, Ida Jarvis Smith ("Auntie") also made them. The differences are noted.
