Oatcakes

[darkemeralds]

I seem to be on a one-food kick. It happens sometimes. I've been making oatcakes for dinner, like, every day.



Oatcakes

2 cups (200 grams) Bob's Red Mill gluten-free rolled oats
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tbsp (about 30 grams) bacon fat or butter

Put all that in a food processor and grind it up. With the processor running, add near-boiling water slowly till you have a ball of sticky dough.

Roll it out (use some more oats to "flour" the board) and cut it into circles.

Bake at 350F/175C (Gasmark 4, I think) for quite a while--like half an hour?--till they're crisp and dry.

Eat them warm with butter and sharp cheddar. They're kind of addictive. I'd take a picture but I ate them all.



On an unrelated topic, this new DW slug-URL thing is pretty cool.

Although I am a vegetarian, and *nobody* has ever told me that I need to enhance the amount of fat in my diet, but if those two things were not true I think I would step up my oatcake game by topping them with the traditional bacon.
