Scottish Vintage Oat Cakes

Scottish Vintage Oat Cakes | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Simple with historic ingenuity these are still a staple today-Scottish Vintage Oat Cakes the newest Little Jewel in the Membership Collection.

SCOTTISH OAT CAKES

These oat cakes have been a part of Scottish cuisine dating as far back as the 14th century. The story goes that nuns in Scotland were making “little pancakes rather like communion wafers”, and this is thought to describe the making of oatcakes.  Scottish soldiers would carry oats which they moistened then griddled.

MODERN OAT CAKES

The texture of today’s oatcakes may vary from rough to fine depending on how the oats are ground They are a fantastically flexible cake, from breakfast to dinner and cocktail hour.

With just 5 ingredients these modern Scottish Oak Cakes are very easy to prepare, then keep on hand. Rolled oats, oat flour or finely ground oats, baking powder, salt, olive oil or butter along with hot water-that’s it. Really.

The dough is rolled out thin, cut into 2-3 inch rounds and popped in the oven to crisp. After 15-20 minutes golden brown and crisp cakes emerge ready for you to spread your favorite toppings.

CHEESE & CRACKERS

My favorite take on these cakes is pictured here, sharp creamy French Roquefort with a drizzle of rich local avocado honey-perfect. These very simple crackers are a vessel for your favorite sweet or savory spread. Nice to accompany a cheese plate too.
