                                                1 1/2 cups scottish oatmeal, such as bob's red mill scottish oatmeal  |  
                                                1/2 cup whole wheat flour  |  
                                                3/4 teaspoon sugar  |

                                                1/4 teaspoon baking powder  |  
                                                1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted  |  
                                                1/2 cup hot water  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet. 2. Place all but two tablespoons of the Scottish oatmeal in a bowl with flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir until combined. 3. Add butter and stir until evenly distributed. With a fork, mix in water, just until moistened. Pat dough into a ball, and then flatten slightly. Sprinkle reserved 2 tablespoons oats on a board. Roll dough out 1/4 inch thick. With a 2 to 3 inch round cutter, cut dough into rounds. Re-roll and cut scraps. Place oatcakes about 1/4 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. 4. Bake at 325°F until Scottish oatcakes are golden, approximately 25 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Enjoy plain, or serve with jam or cheese.                              |
