2 cups milk
2 cups rolled oats (oatmeal)
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 package active, dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 cup warm water, about 110 degrees
5 cups sifted flour
1 egg white and rolled oats for decorating the tops

Scald milk; (140 degrees) stir in 2 cups rolled oats, brown sugar, salt and shortening. Remove from the heat and cool to luke warm. Sprinkle the yeast on the warm water; stir to dissolve. Combine milk mixture , 2 cups of flour and the yeast-water in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes or beat with a spoon until batter is smooth.
