Ingredients

• 150 g Rolled oats
• 50 g All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Ground ginger
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 50 g Unsalted butter
• 40 g Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Golden syrup
• 2 tbsp Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are fully mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup together until smooth and well combined. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, and stir until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky but firm enough to handle.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out circles, re-rolling the scraps as necessary.

Step 7

Place the oatcake rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the oatcakes are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the oatcakes to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
