EASY PEASY CRUNCHY OATCAKES

For biscuits to have with cheese, jam or honey, these are ideal, taste great and couldn't be quicker or easier to make. Half an hour should do it. You should be able to get about 16 cakes out of this mix.

225g oatmeal (I grind small oatflakes, makes for a good texture)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 pint boiling water

Put first three ingredients into a bowl and add the butter. Stir well in then gradually add water until mixture sticking together nicely but not too moist. Flour a board and your hands and knead until well combined.
*Shape into a ball then flatten and roll out until mixture is between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick. Keep pinching the breaking edges together with your fingers.
Using pastry cutter or tumbler, cut into rounds (approx two and half inches diameter) and lay on an ungreased baking tray. Pull the leftover crumbly bits together (add a tiny bit of water if the mix is a little dry) and repeat the process from * twice more until all the mixture is used up.
Bake in a pre-heated moderate oven (say 190˚C) for approx 20 minutes until the cakes are a pale fawn colour. Cool on wire rack.

I love these with a thin coat of marmite and peanut butter on top!
Happy baking. Sue
