Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups oatmeal
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. bacon drippings
6 Tbsp. hot water
Directions:
Place oatmeal, salt, and baking soda in a blender or food processor fitted with metal blades. Blend until meal is smooth. With the motor still running, drizzle in bacon drippings, blending slightly. Remove mixture and place in a mixing bowl. Stir in just enough hot water to make a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a surface well-coated with oatmeal. Knead quickly but thoroughly. Roll out dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of oatcakes.
Traditionally, oatcakes are prepared on an ungreased griddle over medium heat. They should take about 3 or 4 minutes on each side, and then can be crisped under the broiler if desired.
Another option: Bake oatcakes in a pre-heated 325 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes. |
