In response to a recent request, here's an easy recipe for Scottish
Oatcakes from Sheila Lukins' "All Around the World Cookbook" (ISBN
1-56305-636-4). They're good served with cheddar cheese and celery sticks.
Slainte! * Scottish Oatcakes *

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. In a food processor, blend 2 cups
oats til they resemble a coarse flour. Transfer to bowl.

Add baking powder and salt to oats and mix well. Add melted butter and
combine with a wooden spoon, using the back of the spoon to break up the
lumps. Add the water, a little at a time, until the dough is combined.

Scatter the remaining 1/4 cup oats on the work surface. Gather the dough
into a ball and roll it in the oats. Roll out the dough to an 1/8 inch
thickness. Using a cookie cutter (or the open end of an ordinary water
glass), cut the dough into 2 1/2 inch rounds.

Using a spatula, transfer oatcakes to a baking sheet and bake for 15
minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes and store in an airtight container. Makes
20 oatcakes
