These traditional Scottish oatcakes work really well with the cock a leekie soup which is anotehr traditional Scottish recipe: • Cock a leekie Soup Tra...
I always thought that traditional Scottish oatcakes were difficult to make but they are acutally pretty easy. It just takes a little patience and careful preparation make sure they dont break. The warmth and smell that these traditional oatcakes bring to the kitchen is worth the little extra effort to make them fresh.
I have a lovely memory from my childhood of visiting this farmhouse museum close to us in North East Scotland where the little old lady, dressed in authentic old fashioned Scottish farming clothing, sat around the fire baking fresh oatcakes for the visitors. I still remember how good it smelt in that room and how delicious they tasted. I'm not sure what kind of fat she used but they were soooo good.
I cooked these on a flat cast iron pan. Traditional Scottish Oatcakes were cooked on a gridle over the open fire or on a traditional range. They were traditionally finished off in front of the fire to dry out. I personally put mine in the oven on a low heat to finish off the drying process and found this worked really well for them. If you want to cook these oatcakes using the traditional method then I would recommend investing in a flat cast iron pan and you can use this for a variety of other things like pancakes and omlettes or even for eggs and heating up bread etc. They are worth the small investment and clean up really really well!
If you've never made traditional scottish oatcakes then check out this recipe its worth the extra effort. We love making out own oatcakes now and I don't think we will be going back to shop bought after this. Also did you know that any leftover oatcakes make great treats for the dogs. They love traditional Scottish oatcakes too!

Hello from very hot southern Arizona in the U.S.A. (112 F today) and what a delightful discovery, your channel! I am making these tomorrow for sure. Quite a change from flour tortillas. I am definitely a new fan.

Thank you for this lovely video. I'll definitely try this. 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you I hope you enjoy them ,take care, Angie x
@@theweelarder4020 oh I do enjoy the recipes and perhaps even more so because of your lovely Scots. It's music to my ears. Happy Burns Night from the Bavarian Highlands, the alpine region.
Came to this video from your crowdie video. Your camera work and quality are excellent and you have a lovely soft voice and of course the Scottish accent is the cherry on the cake. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm happy you enjoy my videos. I work hard on them and it's lovely when somebody comments like this. If you have any recipe suggestions let me know. Take Care, Angie x
@@theweelarder4020 My compliments are sincerely meant. I never give compliments when they are not due. You deserve them! Well done and thank you for your reply.
The only recipe I can think of at the moment is vegetarian haggis. I had a delicious one once. There are probably several recipes for it since it is something modern. I think a lot of vegetarians would be interested in making it. If you know a good recipe or come across one, you could do a video on it. There must be people of Scottish descent throughout the world who are vegetarian or for health reasons cannot eat meat, who would like to make haggis even if only on Burn's Night, or at Hogmanay. P.s. As you'll know, good neeps and tatties are delicious and paired with a great vegetarian haggis, would really 'hit the spot'.

Are the oats put through a food processor?
I am definitely going to make this.
Brilliant! I hope you enjoy them :-) They are really easy to make and so delicious fresh! Angie x
Good idea!!!
Thank you :-) I love these oatcakes they are great for many things xx
i❤❤❤oatcakes!!! can you tell me tho bc im from america, what style oatmeal is it?
Its the finely ground oatmeal you need for this recipe. :-) x
Oatmeal is ground fine or rough, but you can grind rolled oats or pressed oats (which are the easiest and cheapest to find) fine or rough in your food processor
I have health issues and can't handle fat... what would happen if I left it out or is there something I could sub?
Hello thanks for your message, I think without the fat they would be quite dry, if you can tolerate coconut oil you could try that or if you can't manage that then maybe some yoghurt, buttermilk or a little egg? Let me know how you get on :-) Angie x
@@theweelarder4020 Thanks for the quick reply, but I don't eat animal products and can't digest overt fats, so those are all out. Someone else suggested adding a small mashed potato or white sweet potato and a bit of ground up nuts or seeds like flax, sunflower, hemp.... for a bit of added moisture and some whole food fat with the fiber intact. I'll try and post back if anyone else is interested.
@@CharGC123 ah sorry about that :-) You could maybe try a vegan flax egg or banana but the banana would sweeten it up a bit too much prob, basically something that would bind and add moisture would work :-) Keep us posted, take care angie x
What is oatmeal? Is that milled oats? Is not the oats traditionally soaked?
Hello oatmeal is ground oats. I've not seen the oats soaked for making oatcakes but perhaps in some recipes. Thanks Angie x
What kind of oatmeal are you using?
hello it was hamlyns medium oatmeal i believe :-) x
@@theweelarder4020 Thanks! I have some Hamlyn’s Scottish Oatneal and porridge oats on hand. I realized pretty quick when researching Scottish recipes that “oatmeal” as an ingredient can be any number of different kinds, and sometimes they have different names here in the USA. Lol! By the way, speaking of oatmeal, I would love a skirlie recipe! I have been trying to get it right but I think I must still not be using the right kind of oatmeal... it often comes out still too hard/tough-chewy.
@@triskelehearth sure I will see what I can do for you :-) I have a few to hand and will work on that xx
@@triskelehearth th-cam.com/video/7buhAOWbKXk/w-d-xo.html Skirlie for ye. Hope ye enjoy it. Simple: just oatmeal, (not rolled oats but you can grind rolled oats to a medium or fine in your processor) shredded onion, fat and seasoning (salt and pepper)
👌🏴🇿🇦
Thank you :-) x
Can put in oven 180C?
Hello, to bake I would put in oven at 160 oc (fan) but they are best baked on a flat pan :-) Angie
Loved the recipe, I like to flatten mine out with some good headbutts
