Yule Oatcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup water (up to, probably less)
1/2 cup sugar (you can use up to 1 cup of sugar, or leave it out entirely for a plain oatcake. Personally I think t)

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except the water in a bowl. Add water JUST TO DAMPEN until you can roll it into a ball. Let the ball alone on the counter for about 10 minutes. Now take a handful and roll it out about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick. Cut into circles with cutter or top of a drinking glass. Place on ungreased baking sheets and bake 350 for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
