heavy frying-pan. Mix the oatmeal, the bicarbonated of
soda and salt together in a bowl. Add the melted fat
and the hot water. Stir well until it makes a soft
paste. Sprinkle some oatmeal on a board. From the
dough into a round and roll it out as thinly as
possible, adding oatmeal to the serface as necessary,
to prevent sticking. Brush off the excess oatmeal. Cut
the dough into 4 or 6 pieces. To oven bake; place on a
large ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
To gridle bake; bake on a hot gridle or frying-pan
until the edges begin to curl. Turn over and cook the
other side. Do not let the oatcakes brown; they should
be a pale fawn colour. Put on a wire rack to cool.
They are delicious served with cheese. :
