Scottish Oatcakes

Recipe from Bob's Red Mill Cookbook: Whole & Healthy Grains For Every Meal of the Day

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill Scottish Oatmeal
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
3/4 tsp Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 cup Butter or Margarine, melted
1/2 cup Hot Water

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Place all but 2 tablespoons of the Scottish Oatmeal in a bowl with flour, sugar, salt and baking powder; stir until combined. Add butter and stir until evenly distributed. With a fork, mix in water, just until moistened. Pat dough into a ball, and then flatten slightly.
Sprinkle reserved 2 tablespoons oats on a board. Roll dough out 1/4 inch thick.

With a 2 to 3 inch round cutter, cut dough into rounds. Re-roll and cut scraps. Place oatcakes about 1/4 inch apart on a greased baking sheet.

Bake at 325°F until Scottish Oatcakes are golden, approximately 25 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Enjoy plain, serve with jam or cheese, or use them to build hor d'oeuvres.

Makes 12 Scottish Oatcakes.
