Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Rolled oats
- 50 grams Fine oatmeal
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Butter
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 125 milliliters Hot water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, fine oatmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave until liquid, then let it cool slightly.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the melted butter and hot water. Mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles of dough, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake the oat cakes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the oat cakes to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Serve on their own or with cheese, butter, or jam.
