Method

  • step 1

    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.

  • step 2

    Gradually pour in 60-90ml water from a recently boiled kettle, stirring until it forms a thick dough.

  • step 3

    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).

  • step 4

    Place the oatcakes on a baking tray and bake for 20 mins or until golden.

The recipe quantities have disappeared so I can no longer make these delicious oatcakes. Could you please fix this?

Tried this recipe today, with a couple changes - no sugar, and I needed much more water, almost 130ml. I only used jumbo oats and I grind them to texture I prefer. The wholemeal flour I use for my bread is Marriage’s stoneground organic flour, hence needed more water. I don’t add sugar unless sugar…

(also could add to comment below, they tasted fine - after the first rolling and cutting, I collected the scraps together, and put in extra water to get a better dough. These actually came out tasting better.)

This recipe is super easy. Please note rolled oats are too big for this recipe (they won't form beautiful neat discs but instead be very rustic...). In situations where I haven't had pinhead oats, it has worked really well to just chop the oats super finely in my food processor. No problem at all.…

question

Do these freeze ok, please?

Ignore the comments about halving the salt amt. You need the teaspoon. I used pinhead oatmeal as those are the traditional oatcakes, as is the salt content!
