🏴 OATCAKES 🏴 • Oatcakes have been eaten in Scotland for centuries, and are incredibly simple to make. I looked at several recipes for these, particularly at an old Glasgow cooking school book from the 1930s, and some inherited hand written recipes from my family. The ingredients list is not complex, but few note using bicarbonate of sofa and plain flour, some with no flour, but I opted to go with the inherited handwritten recipe which cites self raising flour. In order to write a recipe that’s simple and easy to follow, I took my lead from that, slightly adapted, and here it is. • Makes 9-10 regular oatcakes • 120g oatmeal (oatbran) plus extra for dusting. • 25g self raising flour • 20g dripping/pork fat/bacon fat/or butter • 60ml boiling water • Half tsp salt • Melt the fat in the boiling water. Put all dry ingredients into a bowl and add the water/fat mixture. Mix together then tip out and knead together until all bits of oatmeal have been incorporated. Dust surface with more oatmeal then dust the top of the dough. Roll out with a rolling pin, turning over and pressing in edges to stop cracking until you get it up approx 3-4mm thick. Using a circle cutter, cut discs and place onto a lined baking tray. You can reform the dough and re-roll to get more out of it. Place in a pre heated oven at 180c for 15-20 minutes. They should not brown all over, they should remain pale coloured, with a minimum amount of browning to any edges. • Leave to cool then serve alongside anything you like! Oatcakes are rather lack lustre and dry eaten solo, but add delightful textural crunch to cheese platters, stovies, pates, dips and more! • Thanks for subscribing: / @rovinghaggis • Instagram: / rovinghaggis • TikTok: / rovinghaggis • #oatcakes #traditional #scottishfood #scotland #biscuits #savoury #baked #crackers #crumbley #oats #recipe #baking #classic #shorts
