Old Fashioned Oatcakes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve received a couple of recent requests for a good old fashioned oatcakes recipe and although I\u2019d made them before I have to say I wasn\u2019t a big fan. I do love oatmeal though but the oatcakes I\u2019d tried before were a little plain and boring without a lot of flavour. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, I set out to make some that I would actually eat and enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some very old recipes I\u2019ve seen use lard or shortening, very little sugar, no spices and plain water to bring the dough together; no wonder they were so boring. Simple frugal ingredients that were always\u00a0on hand made many a sustaining oatcake over the years though, I\u2019m sure.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this recipe, I\u2019ve used butter and part brown sugar for extra flavour, a touch of spice to compliment the oats and evaporated milk to bring the dough together and to add a little richness. The result: finally, an oatcake to actually crave. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ready for the oven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The texture is still quite dense and satisfying and even one with a morning cuppa would make an adequately substantial breakfast. They are the perfect, grab and go\u00a0breakfast too. You oatcake purists can omit the spices for plain oatcakes if you prefer.<\/span><\/p>\n

2017 UPDATE<\/span><\/h3>\n
