Ingredients
- 150 grams Rolled oats
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture.
Step 4
Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you achieve a crumbly texture.
Step 5
Add the boiling water one tablespoon at a time, mixing everything together until the mixture starts to form a dough. Be careful not to add too much water, as the dough should be firm but not overly sticky.
Step 6
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
Step 7
Use a round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out circles from the dough. Place the circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the oatcakes cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the oatcake cookies plain, with butter, or alongside cheese and jam. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
