- Serves 4
From an old récipe - A Traditional Scottish alternative - Brilliant with cheese and savoury dishes.. Best cooked on a griddle but a heavy frying pan can be used.
Ingredients
- 120g/4oz - medium Oatmeal shopping list
- 2tsp Fat/Lard/Dripping - bacon Fat - best - melted shopping list
- 2 pinches of Bicarbonate of Soda shopping list
- Pinch Salt shopping list
- About 1tbsp Hot Water shopping list
- Additional Oatmeal - for kneading shopping list
How to make it
- Preferably with a wooden spoon, mix the oatmeal, salt and bicarbonate together in a bowl:
- Pour the melted fat into the mixture and, stirring well, add enough water to make a stiff paste;
- Cover a flat, clean surface with the additional oatmeal and turn the mixture onto this;
- Working quickly, as the paste becomes difficult to work with if it cools, divide into two and roll one half into a ball and knead with hands covered in oatmeal to stop it sticking;
- Roll out to around quarter inch thick;
- Put a plate which is slightly smaller than the size of your pan over the flattened mixture and cut round to leave a circular oatcake;
- Cut into quarters and place in a heated pan which has been lightly greased; Cook for about 3 minutes until the edges curl slightly, turn, and cook the other side;
- Get ready with another oatcake while the first is being cooked.
