Oatcakes image

This is my best attempt to duplicate Scottish oatcakes, which I had previously only had from a box (brands such as Nairn). I don't know how they would compare to homemade oatcakes in Scotland or Ireland, although in my search for a recipe, I've found that there are many varieties, including sweet or yeast-leavened. This recipe is based on one I found in a Saturday Evening Post many years ago--which I adapted, lost, and then had to recreate from memory. However, I am quite pleased with the final result! Everyone seems to love them. I think they are traditionally served with cheese, butter, jams, etc. but we just eat them plain. (Note: You may use up to 1 tsp. of salt, or no salt at all, as in the original.)

These oatcakes are a great way to use up leftover oats. They're also a healthy and delicious breakfast option. I like to add a bit of fruit or nuts to the batter for extra flavor and nutrition.

I'm a big fan of oatcakes, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The oatcakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. I love them with butter and jam, or with avocado and a poached egg.

These oatcakes are a great way to get your daily dose of oats. They're also a good source of fiber and protein. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then reheat them throughout the week for breakfast or lunch.

The oatcakes were a bit dry for my taste, but I think that was because I used rolled oats instead of oat flour. Next time I'll try using oat flour and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the oatcakes had a nic
