Step 1
1. Preheat the oven with the rack in the center to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Cut the butter into small pieces. Beat the egg and milk together. Whisk flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add the butter pieces and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until the dough becomes sticky. Do not overmix.

2. Knead the dough by hand or with a rubber spatula 8 to 10 times. Place the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it in half. Shape one half into a circle about 12 cm in diameter, cut it into 6 wedges, and place them on a baking sheet. Alternatively, roll out the dough and cut out round biscuits using a cutter. At this point, the biscuits can be tightly wrapped and frozen on the baking sheet. Do not thaw the biscuits before baking—simply add about 2 minutes to the baking time.
