Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Dissolve the baking powder in the milk. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy, then mix in the oats, flour, raisins, walnuts and milk to make a stiff dough.
  2. Tip the dough onto lightly floured surface and roll out until about 1cm thick. Cut into circles with a 5cm pastry cutter, place on an oiled baking sheet, then bake for 15 mins until lightly golden. Leave to cool, then serve with cheese. Can be baked up to 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container until serving.

    Delicious and very easy. For my tastes, I'd say they're too sweet as an oatcake for cheese, but make lovely biscuits with coffee. I've made these several times substituting different fruit and nuts, which seems to affect the crumbly texture(ie sometimes they fall apart completely!) but the result is always very tasty!

    I love these and are a relatively healthy snack for the kids. I agree with ReissyT, these are a sweet biscuit( my kids compare them to hobnobs) not what I class as an oatcake to serve with cheese.

    Swapped 2oz of oats for 2oz wheatbran. Also, didn't have walnuts but the outcome was still delicious and they were eaten with various Cornish cheeses (eg Yarg and Camembert).

    These are yummy and very quick to make, found the dough quite tough to roll out, seemed to crack alot....not sure if it was just me....nice though as a biscuit or good with a nice chutney too..
