Cleaned-Up Scottish Oatcakes
- 1 cup slow cook oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 -3 tablespoons water, ice cold
- Heat oven to 375.
- Mix the dry ingredients, then cut the shortening in until it resembles fine crumbs. (I gave up on this and just smooshed it with my hands.) Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a stiff dough when you press it together. (Alternatively, you can mix this in your food processor).
- On lightly wheat-floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thick. If needed, use ice water as "glue" to patch it together- It might fall apart a little. Cut into rounds with a large cookie cutter or the top of a glass about 2 1/2" in diameter. Or you can cut it into squares with a knife. Place on and ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake until the oatcakes start to brown, about 12-15 minutes. Cool a bit on a wire rack, if your gang will wait that long.
- To serve, top with whatever you find in your kitchen. These are not sweet, so they make a great base for sweeter toppings like jelly and honey. Other toppings we've use are peanut butter, butter, sliced fruit, cream cheese and coconut. I think we even used chocolate chips a time or two. Use your imagination!
