Ingredients
- 250 grams Rolled oats
- 50 grams Fine oatmeal
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Butter
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 125 milliliters Hot water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, fine oatmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave until liquid, then let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the melted butter and hot water. Mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
Step 5
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Step 6
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles of dough, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Step 7
Bake the oat cakes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Step 8
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the oat cakes to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Serve on their own or with cheese, butter, or jam.
