For anyone else who fancies having a go - they are worth it
For one dozen oatcakes...
8oz fine ground oatmeal
4oz wholemeal flour
4oz plain flour
1tsp salt
1tsp sugar
1/2oz fresh yeast or 1tsp dried yeast
3/4pint lukewarm milk
3/4pint lukewarm water
vegetable oil
Work the yeast into 1/4 pint of the liquid, add the sugar and stir well.
Leave in a warm place for 10-15 minutes until frothy.
Sieve the flour and salt together into a warmed bowl and add the oatmeal, stirring well.
To the yeast mixture add the remaining milk and water.
Make a well and gradually beat the liquid into the dry ingredients.
Cover with a clean damp cloth and leave to stand in a warm place for 1 hour.
Oil a frying pan and put onto a high heat. Drain the pan, spinkle in salt and wipe clean with a cloth. Ladle some mixture into the centre of the pan.
At the right temperature bubbles will form.
Cook until browned, flip it over and press down lightly.
When cooked place on a wire rack over a bowl of cold water and then stack.
To be honest, its the Mrs who makes them in our household
