SCOTTISH OATCAKES

Ingredients

• 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup packed golden brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup salted butter, chilled
• 1/2 cup cold water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Process rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground.
3. Combine ground oats, flour, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Stir in water. Knead gently until mixture can be gathered into a ball, about 4 or 5 times. Divide dough in half.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Using a 2 inch cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Bake until firm, about 15 - 18 minutes. Transfer oatcakes to a rack and cool completely. May be frozen for up to 2 months.
