I always thought that traditional Scottish oatcakes were difficult to make but they are acutally pretty easy. It just takes a little patience and careful preparation make sure they dont break. The warmth and smell that these traditional oatcakes bring to the kitchen is worth the little extra effort to make them fresh.
I have a lovely memory from my childhood of visiting this farmhouse museum close to us in North East Scotland where the little old lady, dressed in authentic old fashioned Scottish farming clothing, sat around the fire baking fresh oatcakes for the visitors. I still remember how good it smelt in that room and how delicious they tasted. I'm not sure what kind of fat she used but they were soooo good.
I cooked these on a flat cast iron pan. Traditional Scottish Oatcakes were cooked on a gridle over the open fire or on a traditional range. They were traditionally finished off in front of the fire to dry out. I personally put mine in the oven on a low heat to finish off the drying process and found this worked really well for them. If you want to cook these oatcakes using the traditional method then I would recommend investing in a flat cast iron pan and you can use this for a variety of other things like pancakes and omlettes or even for eggs and heating up bread etc. They are worth the small investment and clean up really really well!
If you've never made traditional scottish oatcakes then check out this recipe its worth the extra effort. We love making out own oatcakes now and I don't think we will be going back to shop bought after this. Also did you know that any leftover oatcakes make great treats for the dogs. They love traditional Scottish oatcakes too!

    @@theweelarder4020 My compliments are sincerely meant. I never give compliments when they are not due. You deserve them! Well done and thank you for your reply. The only recipe I can think of at the moment is vegetarian haggis. I had a delicious one once. There are probably several recipes for it since it is something modern. I think a lot of vegetarians would be interested in making it. If you know a good recipe or come across one, you could do a video on it. There must be people of Scottish descent throughout the world who are vegetarian or for health reasons cannot eat meat, who would like to make haggis even if only on Burn's Night, or at Hogmanay. P.s. As you'll know, good neeps and tatties are delicious and paired with a great vegetarian haggis, would really 'hit the spot'.

Someone else suggested adding a small mashed potato or white sweet potato and a bit of ground up nuts or seeds like flax, sunflower, hemp.... for a bit of added moisture and some whole food fat with the fiber intact.

I realized pretty quick when researching Scottish recipes that “oatmeal” as an ingredient can be any number of different kinds, and sometimes they have different names here in the USA. Lol! By the way, speaking of oatmeal, I would love a skirlie recipe! I have been trying to get it right but I think I must still not be using the right kind of oatmeal... it often comes out still too hard/tough-chewy.
