I first had at a BW hotel restaurant in Truro NS, and then at Tim's (not as good). A NS friend sent me her recipe and I have made it several times (usually half-recipe). It has less sugar and fat than your recipe, fyi.<br /><br />Here it is:<br /><br />OATCAKES<br /><br />3 cups rolled oats<br />1 1/2 cups all purpose flour<br />1/2 cup packed brown sugar<br />1/2 tsp. salt (I do not use)<br />1/2 tsp. baking soda<br />1 cup shortening (I used margarine)<br />1/2 cup water<br />1 tsp. vanilla (optional, but I used)(add to water)<br /><br />In a large bowl, combine flour sugar, salt and baking soda. Stir in oats. With pastry blender, cut in shortening (margarine) until crumbly. Gradually sprinkle mixture with water, tossing with a fork just to moisten the ingredients. Gather into a ball. Divide in half.<br /><br />On a floured pastry cloth (or between 2 sheets of waxed paper) and using a (floured) rolling pin, roll out each half to a 12x9 inch rectangle. Cut into 3 inch squares (i.e. 3 across, 4 down); cut each diagonally in half if desired (I did this). <br /><br />Bake on greased baking sheets in 350 F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until oatcakes are golden brown on the bottom. Transfer to a rack and let cool.<br /><br />Makes 24 oatcakes.
