Oat Cakes With Hemp Recipes

NOVA SCOTIA OATCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add the shortening or butter and use 2 knives, a large fork, or your fingers to work the fat into the dry ingredients.
• Pour in the hot water and stir until everything comes together into a thick, sticky dough.
• You can roll the dough out on a well-floured surface, cut it into shapes, and set them on a large baking sheet. Or keep things simple and simply press the dough into an even 1/4-inch layer on a baking sheet. Score this large "cake" into smaller pieces: Use a knife to cut the dough into squares or rectangles or whatever shapes you like, but don't bother to separate the pieces; the pieces will bake back together but be easy to cut or break along that original cut line.
• Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. You can take them out now for chewier oatcakes or reduce the oven temperature to 325 F and bake until lightly browned, about 10 more minutes, for crisper oatcakes.
• When they have finished baking, if you've cut them into shapes, let them cool; if you've scored them, cut them apart while warm so they cool into squares (or rectangles or triangles or whatever you've cut them into).
• Serve and enjoy.

NOVA SCOTIA OATCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dissolve baking soda in hot water (add a little more water if needed).
• Combine dry ingredients with butter, then add dissolved baking soda.
• Mold into a dough ball, then press it out onto a baking sheet. You can roll it out with a dough pin to make it thin as you want it to be (I recommend about 1/4 inch thick.)
• Cover and chill for 10-15 minutes to firm up the dough, then remove the oatcakes and score down the middle and across to make 8-10 squares (you'll use these lines for clean cuts after it's done baking).
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown. They should be crisp and crunchy, not chewy.
• Separate the cakes along the score lines with a thin knife and then allow them to cool.
• Enjoy with your favorite coffee or tea or add them to your day pack for some quick energy during a hike or a long road trip.

OATCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1/2 cup rolled oats on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until light golden and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool then transfer to a food processor; process until finely ground. Add flour, sugar, coarse salt, and pepper; pulse until combined. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons cold water and pulse until dough just comes together, adding up to an additional tablespoon as needed.
• Turn dough out onto plastic wrap, shape into a rectangle and wrap in plastic. Chill for 45 minutes. Transfer chilled dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup oats and roll into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut into thirty-two 2 1/2-by-1 1/2-inch rectangles. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. If dough becomes soft, chill for 15 minutes.
• Arrange bars an-inch apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden, 28 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a heavy baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix oats, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Rub in butter with your fingers until mixture is chunky. Pour in enough water to form a thick dough.
• Spread a thin layer of oats and whole wheat flour on a flat work surface. Turn out dough and pat to an even thickness. Cut into circles using the rim of a drinking glass. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

OAT CAKES WITH HEMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grind 2 1/2 cups oats and hemp together in a food processor. Transfer to a large bowl. Add 3 cups flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and allspice. Rub in butter and coconut oil by hand until mixture forms crumbs the size of frozen peas.
• Add water to the bowl with the oat mixture. Knead until dough is uniform and moist, adding a small amount of additional water if necessary.
• Turn dough out onto a surface dusted with 1 tablespoon flour and 1 tablespoon oats. Pat down to about 1 1/2-inch thickness. Cut cakes into desired shapes and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are dry and firm, 16 to 20 minutes.
