Cheese Oatcakes Food

We tried these during a trip to Scotland - our hostess brought them home from a church fete. Served with apple juice, they were delicious - just like a crisp cheese cracker. When we got home, I scoured the internet to find this recipe from Cloisters Bed and Breakfast (Talmine, Scotland), which tastes identical. These are fun to make with kids - roll out the dough and use cookie cutters to make any shape you like.

This is my best attempt to duplicate Scottish oatcakes, which I had previously only had from a box (brands such as Nairn). I don't know how they would compare to homemade oatcakes in Scotland or Ireland, although in my search for a recipe, I've found that there are many varieties, including sweet or yeast-leavened. This recipe is based on one I found in a Saturday Evening Post many years ago--which I adapted, lost, and then had to recreate from memory. However, I am quite pleased with the final result! Everyone seems to love them. I think they are traditionally served with cheese, butter, jams, etc. but we just eat them plain. (Note: You may use up to 1 tsp. of salt, or no salt at all, as in the original.)

This is the best oatcake recipe. It has the perfect balance between salt and sweet. This recipe comes from the Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia. It is a traditional treat as we have a strong Scottish culture in this province.
