Posted by: ktj <ktjNOT @ gnotmail dot com> Jemima's Oatcakes (a very old recipe) 2 cups Scottish oatmeal, uncooked(if using American oatmeal, run it through the blender) 3/4 to 1 1/4 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1 cup water Preheat oven 350 degrees Mix 1 1/2 cups oatmeal with 3/4 cup of flour, then add the salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the oil and water, and form the mix into a dough. If the dough is too wet, add more flour. On a board with the remaining 1/2 cup oatmeal, knead the dough and roll it out to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/8 inch.  Cut the dough into 4 quarters and bake the quarters on an ungreased cookie sheet for 35 minutes. The cakes should be dry on the outside and somewhat moist in the middle. Serves: 6-8 people. -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Tracy E. Carman at recipes@swcp.com.
