Oat Bannocks Recipe

100g/4 oz/1 cup medium oatmeal

2.5 ml/0.5 tsp salt
A pinch of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
10 ml/2 tsp oil
60 ml/4 tsp hot water

Method:

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Stir in the oil and enough of the water to make a firm dough. Turn out on to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out to about 5 mm or 1/4 in thick, tidy the edges, then cut into quarters. Heat a griddle or heavy-based frying pan (skillet) and fry (saute) the bannocks for about 20 minutes until the corners begin to curl. Turn over and cook the other side for 6 minutes.
