Amish Baked Oatmeal (4 servings) 2 cups quick-cooking oats 1 cup milk 1/2 cup sugar 1 large egg 1/4 cup butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup dried fruit (optional) This recipe was sent to us by David C. who says this is an old family recipe and a favorite of his. I gave it try this morning (June 2013). I used equal parts raisins and cranberries to make up the 1/2 cup of dried fruit. I enjoyed this dish. The butter transforms the way the oats taste and it was fun to have a slice of oatmeal instead of the usual bowl. The only adjustment I'd make next time is to reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
