Oatcakes

I had a request for this, so, here it is. This is a plain old fashioned oatcake.

OATCAKES

2 cups flour

2 cups oatmeal

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 cup shortening

1/2 cup cold water

Method

Mix dry ingredients

Cut in shortening, mix until the ingredients are evenly mixed and crumbly

pour the water in and mix until it forms a ball

Divide the ball in 2 pieces

On a floured surface roll out to 1/2″ thickness.

Cut into 2 1/2 inch squares, .

Bake on a greased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned.

I prefer using parchment paper with cooking spray. It prevents the cookies from any possibility of sticking
