Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Rolled oats
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 75 milliliters Hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the rolled oats into a food processor and pulse until they form a coarse oat flour. Alternatively, use pre-made oat flour if preferred.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually stir in the hot water, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should come together but not be too sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass (approximately 6-8cm in diameter) to cut out oatcake shapes. Re-roll the scraps as needed.
Arrange the oatcakes on the lined baking sheet, leaving a small space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the oatcakes are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the oatcakes cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them plain, or pair with cheese, butter, or jam!
