Oatcakes

Ingredients

• 225 g Porridge Oats
• 60 g Plain Flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 60 g Vegetable Shortening
• 60-80 ml Hot Water

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre-heat your oven to 190°c and grease a baking tray.

2. 2

   Mix the oats, flour and salt together in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Add the vegetable shortening and rub together until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs.

4. 4

   Gradually add the water a little at a time until you have a thick dough.

5. 5

   Roll the dough on a floured surface to around 5mm thick. Cut your oatcakes with a cookie cutter into your desired shape, or alternatively you can simply cut with a knife.

6. 6

   Place your oatcakes onto your pre-greased tray and bake for 20-30 minutes until dry and lightly golden. It's also a good idea to turn the oatcakes at least once during baking to prevent them being dry & golden on one side and soggy on the other.
