Scottish oatcakes are humble, hearty, and just the thing to round out a good cheese board or afternoon tea.
Servings: 30
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup walnut pieces
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup soft or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the 1 cup old fashioned oats and the 1 cup walnut pieces in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground
- Add in the 1 1/2 cups oat flour, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp baking soda and pulse to combine.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1/4 cup soft or melted butter and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and bring the dough together. If it feels wet, knead in a little more flour. If it feels dry add a bit of buttermilk.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch cookie cutter. Place the cookies on your parchment lined baking sheet about an inch apart. You can prick the crackers with the tines of a fork if you like the look, but it's not necessary, the dough doesn't rise or puff up.
- Bake for about 15-18 minutes until just starting to turn golden.
- Cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container.
