OAT CAKES2 cups oats, uncooked
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1/4 cup hot water
Butter and honey (for serving)
Mix the oats, flour, salt and baking powder; set aside.
Melt the butter in the hot water and add it to the dry ingredients. Knead the dough a little on a floured board. Roll thinly. Cut into "farls" or quarter-size rounds or stamp into rounds with a cutter.
Cook on a greased griddle or bake on a greased baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. (Oat cakes baked in the oven taste better than those from a greased griddle.)
Eat the same day with butter and honey.
