I find it quite amazing that not everyone makes these. Homemade oatcakes are really easy and fast to make and taste so much better than shop ones. I don’t like shop ones at all, but these are well yummy (I think it’s the butter!)
- 280g fine oatmeal (+salt/pepper if you like)
- 70g butter (or oil, but butter is better)
- 120ml of water
- Flour for rolling
- Put the oatmeal in a bowl add a little ground pepper & salt if you fancy
- In a small heat the butter and water until boiling /melted (best not to microwave, sometimes it explodes)
- Mix the hot liquid into the oatmeal
- Flour the table and the rolling pin (use plenty of flour)
- Tip the hot oaty mix onto the floured table, work quickly as the mix gets harder to roll out as it cools. Roll to about 3mm thick.
- Press out discs and place on baking sheet (sheet doesn’t need to be oiled)
- Bake at 180 C for 20 to 25 mins until dry and a little bit brown, if they’re soggy when you press them they’re not done
