These are pancakes and a traditional favorite from the North Staffordshire area of England. Delicious with butter or jam! You may grind regular oatmeal in a blender to make your own oat flour.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups warm water
  • 1.5 cups warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 envelope active dry yeast , .25 ounce
  • 2.5 cups oat flour
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place warm water and warm milk into a large bowl. Stir in sugar and yeast, and let stand for 5 minutes, or until frothy. Mix in oat flour, whole wheat flour and salt, blending thoroughly. Cover bowl, and let stand in a warm place for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Heat a large griddle or two skillets over medium heat, and grease well. Spoon enough batter onto the pan to make a thin pancake about 8 inches across for each one. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the top surface is covered with holes. Turn over and brown on the other side. Place oatcakes on a warm plate until ready to serve. Best served immediately, but can be frozen and heated later.
