Oat Cake Recipe Uk

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix together the oats, flour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda. Add the butter, then rub together until it's the consistency of large breadcrumbs.
• Gradually pour in 60-90ml water from a recently boiled kettle, stirring until it forms a thick dough.
• Sprinkle some extra flour on a work surface and roll out the dough to about ½cm thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out about 16 rounds (the final number of oatcakes depends on the size of cutter you use).
• Place the oatcakes on a baking tray and bake for 20 mins or until golden.

Steps:

• For the oatcakes, tip the oats and 350ml water into a bowl and blitz with a stick blender until smooth (alternatively you can use a food processor or liquidizer). Stir in the flour and yeast, cover and leave in the fridge overnight, or leave at room temperature for 2-3 hrs until bubbles appear.
• Use kitchen paper to rub ½ tsp oil round a non-stick frying pan, then heat. Ladle in a quarter of the batter and swirl the pan to cover the base (the oatcakes should be a few millimeters thick, like a crêpe). Cook for 2 mins, then turn and cook for 2 mins more until golden. Make four oatcakes in the same way. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, chill two for another day. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for two days.
• To make the topping for two oatcakes, heat 2 tsp oil in a non-stick pan, add 160g mushrooms and fry for 2-3 mins, stirring until softened. Stir in 2 tomatoes, then add 2 tbsp ground seeds and cook for 2 mins more. Reheat the oatcakes in a dry frying pan or the microwave if necessary, then spread each one with 1 tbsp tahini, the mushroom mixture and scatter with a little coriander before serving. On the second day, repeat step 3 with the remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 190C.
• Mix together the oats, flour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda.
• Add the butter and rub together until everything is mixed and has the consistency of large bread crumbs.
• Add the water (from a recently boiled kettle) bit by bit and combine until you have a somewhat thick dough. The amount of water varies; depending on the oats.
• Sprinkle some extra flour and oats on a work surface and roll out the dough to approx. 1/2cm thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes (the final number of oatcakes depends - of course - on the size of cutter you use.
• In a wonderfully Scottish twist/coincidence I found that using an upturned whisky glass makes the perfect size :-)
• Place the oat cakes on a baking tray and bake for appprox. 20-30mins. or until slightly golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the butter in a small pan, then leave to cool slightly. Tip the oatmeal, flour, baking powder, parmesan and sesame seeds, if using, into a bowl with ½ tsp salt, then pour in the melted butter. Add 5 tbsp boiling water and bring together into a firm dough, adding another 1 tbsp boiling water if needed.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly dusted work surface, then roll out to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut into small squares or 3-4cm triangles, then transfer to a lined baking sheet. Re-roll any offcuts and repeat. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden. Leave to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Serve with soft cheese and grapes, if you like.
