What a great thing to do Brian. Helps them be extra crunchy. Glad you enjoyed them!

Something my mum taught me about recipes in cups was to experiment with. cups and glasses in my cupboard. As long as you are consistent with the vessel you are happy with recipes should turn out just fine. We had the old balance scale at home. My mum’s sponge cake recipe is the best … oh but maybe I shouldn’t say. We are Highland Scots, by the by.

Thank you Matthew. I am glad you enjoyed oatcakes made the traditional way! I love the history – hence why I am knee-deep in writing a book about British oat recipes at the moment!

Oats are naturally gluten-free. There may be tiny traces of gluten in ones ground in a mill that also grinds gluten grains….but this tiny amount would make no difference to the binding of these oatcakes. They bind well. If the mixture is a little dry to stick together (which it might be depending on the dryness of the oats – there are many brands) I’d suggest using more water.

I just posted to help answer your gluten-free question. Check rosts rather than a reply to your post.

these are the best ones yet to perform well when making them and baking them and no flour needed

thanks – so easy and quick to make

delicous and delightful and your history part of the recipie is outstanding and thoughtful so top marks for that aswell

Hi Kathryn. I don’t have a GF oatcake recipe. Oats are naturally gluten-free. If you are feeding a celiac, you could look for certified gluten-free oats (which will have been rolled/ground in a gluten-free environment). I hope your celebration day went well!
