Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rolled oats
- 50 grams whole wheat flour
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 75 milliliters milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and honey together until fully combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Pour the melted butter and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine.
Gradually add the milk, a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. The dough should be slightly sticky but cohesive enough to roll out.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut the dough into circles. Carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the oatcakes are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the oatcakes cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Yule Oatcakes plain, or enjoy them with cheese, butter, or jam for a festive treat!
