Oatcakes

Breakfast 🍳Side Dish 🥗Snack 🍿 BritishScottish

These Scottish-style oatcakes bake up toasty and crisp at the edges with a hearty, nutty bite from rolled oats and whole wheat flour. Lightly sweetened and rich with butter, they pair beautifully with cheese, jam, or a smear of butter for a satisfying breakfast or snack. Oatcakes are simple, rustic, and perfect warm from the oven or cooled for later.

Oatcakes
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a heavy baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Combine oats, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingers until the mixture is chunky. Add enough water to make a thick dough.

  3. 3

    Dust a flat work surface with a thin layer of oats and whole wheat flour. Turn out the dough and pat it to an even thickness. Cut circles using the rim of a drinking glass. Move them to the prepared baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
