How to Make Breed Oatcakes From The Far Northeast Corner Of Scotland

  1. Lightly sprinkle a clean work surface with medium oatmeal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oatmeal, flour, and salt. Gradually add the water (or milk) and oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto the oat-sprinkled surface. Knead gently for 1-2 minutes until the dough comes together. Avoid over-kneading.
  4. Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into four triangles or any desired shape.
  5. Work quickly, as the dough will become harder to handle if it gets cold.
  6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the oatcakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. The edges will curl slightly as they cook.
  7. Remove the oatcakes from the griddle and place them on a wire rack or clean tea towel to cool and crisp further. Allow to dry in a warm room.
  8. Once completely cool, store the oatcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
