Scottish Oat cakes

Ingredients:

– 2 cups rolled oats

– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed

– 1/4 cup cold water

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they resemble a coarse flour-like texture.

3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Gradually add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. It should be firm but pliable.

6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.

7. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out oatcake rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the oatcakes are lightly golden around the edges.

9. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Scottish Oatcakes are delicious on their own or served with butter, cheese, or jam.
