Try serving these oatcakes with reduced fat hard cheeses. They are delicious topped with thick honey for breakfast.
ingredients
1 cup medium oatmeal, plus extra for sprinkling
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of Baking soda
1 tbsp butter
5 tbsp water
method
1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F. Mix the oatmeal with the salt and Baking soda in a bowl.
2. Melt the butter with the water in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil, then add to the oatmeal mixture and mix to a moist dough.
3. Turn the dough on to a surface sprinkled with oatmeal and knead to a smooth ball. Turn a large baking sheet upside-down, grease it, sprinkle it lightly with oatmeal and place the ball of dough on top. Sprinkle the dough with oatmeal, then roll out to a 25cm/10in round.
4. Cut the round into eight sections, ease them apart slightly and bake for about 50 - 60 minutes until crisp. Leave to cool on the baking sheet, then remove the oatcakes with a palette knife.
