Scottish Oatcakes

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 200C/400u00b0F.

2. 2

   Put the oats, salt and baking soda in a bowl.

3. 3

   Make a well, pour in the lard and stirring with a wooden spoon, add in enough of the hot water to make a stiff dough. If you're using oatmeal, you should need about 75 ml; with porridge oats, you may need as much as 200 ml.

4. 4

   Knead it for a while to make it come smoothly together, then roll out as thinly as you can.

5. 5

   Cut into triangles or rounds.

6. 6

   Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are turning golden-brown and the oatcakes themselves are firm (they'll crisp up on cooling).

7. 7

   Remove to a wire rack to cool.
