Oatcakes

Step 1

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and baking soda together. Add the maple syrup, butter, and using a pastry blender or 2 forks, combine everything together.

Step 3

Add The Boiling Water: Pour the hot water over the mixture and stir until everything comes together. It should be a thick and sticky dough.

Step 4

Score Dough: Press the dough into the prepared baking pan until it's an even layer. Score the dough and cut them into squares, but don't separate the dough.

Step 5

Bake: Transfer the baking pan to the oven and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes or until golden.

Step 6

Cut & Cool: As soon as you take the pan out, run the knife through the score marks to separate the squares apart. Do this while warm, so they cool into squares.
