SCOTTISH OATMEAL ROLLS

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over oats in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, salt and oil. Cool to 110°-115°, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand 5 minutes. Add to oat mixture. Beat in enough flour to form a stiff dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 24 balls. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 350°. Bake until lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. If desired, serve with butter and honey.

SCOTTISH OAT CAKES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 190C.
• Mix together the oats, flour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda.
• Add the butter and rub together until everything is mixed and has the consistency of large bread crumbs.
• Add the water (from a recently boiled kettle) bit by bit and combine until you have a somewhat thick dough. The amount of water varies; depending on the oats.
• Sprinkle some extra flour and oats on a work surface and roll out the dough to approx. 1/2cm thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes (the final number of oatcakes depends - of course - on the size of cutter you use.
• In a wonderfully Scottish twist/coincidence I found that using an upturned whisky glass makes the perfect size :-)
• Place the oat cakes on a baking tray and bake for appprox. 20-30mins. or until slightly golden brown.
