8 oz fine oatmeal8 oz wholewheat or plain flour1 tsp salt1/2 oz fresh yeast1 1/2 pints warm milk and water, mixed half and half1 tsp sugar(Chris and Pam Ellis, ex-pats in Australia use double the amount of salt and sugar and claim to get excellent results. They should know because they have tasted the original. They even cook them on the barbie!!)Method
1. Add salt to flour and oatmeal.
2. Dissolve yeast with a little warm liquid and add sugar. Allow to become frothy.
3. Mix dry ingredients with yeast and rest of warm liquid to make a batter.
4. Cover with clean cloth and leave in warm place for 1 hour.
5. Bake on well-greased griddle. Put enough batter onto griddle to produce an oatcake about 8 or 9 inches in diameter. The surface will be covered in holes as it cooks. Turn oatcake after 2-3 minutes when upperside appears dry and underside is golden brown, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.Eat as soon as possible. Oatcakes freeze well."
