Scottish Oatcakes Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 150g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 About tablespoon of melted butter or a neutral oil
  • A few tablespoons of hot water (just enough to form a dough)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to about 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2
    In a bowl, mix the oatmeal and salt together.
  3. 3
    Add the melted butter or oil and stir it in.
  4. 4
    Gradually add hot water, a tablespoon at a time, until it forms a firm dough that holds together but isn’t sticky.
  5. 5
    Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface (or just a surface dusted with a bit of oatmeal) to about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. 6
    Cut into rounds or wedges.
  7. 7
    Bake on a baking sheet for about 15 to 20 minutes until they’re crisp and lightly golden.
  8. 8
    They’ll keep well in an airtight container for a few days, so you can definitely make them ahead.
Note

Just before serving, top each oatcake with a little dollop of cream cheese or a similar spread.

Lay a piece of smoked salmon on top. If you like, add a little fresh dill or a twist of black pepper.
