OATCAKES
This is my best attempt to duplicate Scottish oatcakes, which I had previously only had from a box (brands such as Nairn). I don't know how they would compare to homemade oatcakes in Scotland or Ireland, although in my search for a recipe, I've found that there are many varieties, including sweet or yeast-leavened. This recipe is based on one I found in a Saturday Evening Post many years ago--which I adapted, lost, and then had to recreate from memory. However, I am quite pleased with the final result! Everyone seems to love them. I think they are traditionally served with cheese, butter, jams, etc. but we just eat them plain. (Note: You may use up to 1 tsp. of salt, or no salt at all, as in the original.)

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.
