Scottish Oatcake


To keep myself motivated to bake, I joined a group on FB - Fondbites, Bake Along hosted by Subhashini Ramsingh, who is based in Chennai. She conducts professional baking and cake decorating classes in Chennai. Her classes are worth attending, though I haven't (but wish to in the future).....


Now, to start off, I decided to bake her Scottish Oatcake #19....... A very simple, healthy and less- caloric recipe, loved by adults, but not by the kids ;)...... A good in-between snack for weight watchers!


Ingredients:
Recipe Source: Fondbites, Bake Along

 Oatmeal - 1 1/2 cups
Wheat flour - 6 tbsps
Cornflour - 2 tbsps
Brown sugar - 1 tbsp
Salt- 1/4 tsp
Baking powder - 1/4 tsp
Olive Oil - 1 tbsp
Hot water - 1/2 cup


Method:
  • Preheat oven to 200 C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Process the oats in a mixer on high for about a minute or so until it is powdered well.
  • Add the powdered oatmeal, wheat flour, cornflour, sugar, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Whisk together until combined.
  • Add oil to the above mixture and combine well. Add hot water and mix well with a spoon.
  • Using your hands, knead the mixture well to form a dough.
  • Now place the dough in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 mins. This will soften the oats with the hot water.
  • Flour your counter with wheat flour and roll out the dough about 3-4 mm thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut them into shapes.
  • Transfer to the baking tray with 1 inch apart. They are not smooth dough, so the edges would be cracked. Combine the scraps again and roll out and cut them into shapes.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for about 20-2 minutes or until the edges are browned.
  • Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container!

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

This Oven Cold Cream Cheese Pound Cake was  Bake Along #11 . And this had a speciality too!! You needn't preheat your oven like you do when baking normally.

Caramel Cake

This time, I am deeply smitten with the vacation bug, and I still haven't recovered from it yet. A trip to The Capital was the main highlight of this year's vacation and we especially my kids thoroughly enjoyed it. It was their many firsts--first looong trip in the train (48 hrs), first trip to the North, first long trip with their grandparents and so on.....So you could imagine their excitement!! Meanwhile, many special days like the Mother's day and Father's Day have come and gone, but I was never in a mood to at least make an effort to bake something for those special days.....Anyways, let me hope this Caramel Cake would compensate for all those lazy bygone days.....
