Scottish Oat cakes |
Why oh why have I never thought of it before..... Make my own Oat Cakes
I crave these little oaty biscuits for cheese
I used to put in a special request for Oat Cakes with my Mum and Dad all the time, they needed to bring a few in their suitcase on visits from Scotland to Texas, and they had to be the rough homemade looking ones, my Dad, who is also an Oat cake specialist in my eyes, knows what I mean when I request a certain type, we both share the same opinions about the ply-board looking ones
I hate the ones that are like compressed ply board shavings ....ewww they need to be oaty and grainy for me and these oat cakes I am making today hit the mark, I got a tad excited when I saw that rough raw oatmeal was used and sprinkled in this recipe
Bet my dad wont believe it, yes Dad I am making Oat Cakes now....

You will need
110g/4oz Medium Oatmeal
25g/1oz Plain or All Purpose Flour

DeleteCraicin' good oatcakes! Happened on your blog from the Serenity Now hop and love that you are posting Scottish recipes. We visited Scotland for the first time this summer and fell in love! Fun to find that your oatcakes look just like the ones I made to share in our clan tent at the Scottish games.
