almost all the way through, then across 6-9 times, making rectangular

make it plain.

Scottish Oatcakes
Even David can
make these!
Put 3 cups of steel-cut
oats through the blender or food processor, ½ cup at a time to pulverize. Combine this with ¼ cup flour, 1 t. salt and
¼ t. baking soda. Cut in ½ cup of butter
for pastry and mix well. Add enough
warm water to make a soft dough.
Sprinkle pastry board with flour and roll out the dough ¼ inch
thick. Try to make a neat circle, and
then cut it into wedges. Transfer the
wedges to a greased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 400-degree oven until
the oatcakes are light brown on the top.
This will take only 5 to 10 minutes.
