Give your Christmas presents the personal touch by making homemade oatcakes for loved ones – wrap them up with a selection of cheeses.
Ingredients
- 110g/4oz medium oatmeal, plus more for dusting
- 110g/4oz plain flour
- 55g/2oz lard, dripping or poultry fat
- 1 level tsp salt
- cold water
- For the glaze
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp sugar
Preparation method
- Mix the oatmeal and flour in a bowl. Rub in the fat, add the salt and mix in just enough cold to form a soft but not tacky dough.
- Roll out the dough on an oatmeal-strewn board. Cut out circles with a scone cutter. Alternatively, cut out a dinner-plate round, and quarter it.
- Mix together the egg, milk and sugar to form a glaze.
- Cook the oatcakes on an ungreased medium-hot griddle, without turning them. The moment the first batch are in place, brush them over with glaze - it will turn to a shiny coating as they cook.
- When fully cooked, remove. Store in an airtight box.
