I was cleaning out my old room at my parent’s house and I found a pile of papers with recipes on it.
What is this?
I have no clue where this came from, but it sounded good and easy to make. And perfect for tea! (You know me, I’m always looking for something new for tea time.)
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup of Rolled Oats
- 1/3 Cup of Flour
- 1/2 Tsp of Sugar
- 1/4 Tsp of Salt
- 1/4 Tsp of Baking Soda
- 1/4 Cup of Unsalted Butter, Cut into Pieces
- 2-3 Tbsps of Water
- Honey (Optional)
- Marmalade (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat Oven to 325 degrees F
- In a food processor fitted with metal blades, process oats to a fine meal.
- Add the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and butter.
- Process briefly to mix well.
- With motor running add 2-3 tbsps of water and process 20 seconds to form a crumbly dough.
- Add as much water as needed to achieve the desired texture.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Knead a couple of times to incorporate any crumbs, then form into a ball.
- Cut in half.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out each half into rounds 6 inches wide an 1/4 inch thick.
- Crimp edges with your finger and thumb to make a fluted border.
- Using a metal spatula, transfer he rounds to a baking sheet and cut into four equal wedges. separate the wedges slightly then prick the top of each one 3 or 4 times with a fork.
- Bake until pale and tan and no longer soft (about 25-30 mins)
- Transfer the oatcakes to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve with honey or marmalade, if desired.
- Makes about 8.
So the first one is when I didn’t pay close attention to the recipe, while the second is from following the directions.
These were fantastic! So good, and perfect with your tea!
I would ground the oats in the processor or blender, but when you get to the water just put it in a bowl and use your hands. Otherwise, delicious!
