Ingredients

• 200 grams rolled oats
• 50 grams whole wheat flour
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 75 milliliters 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, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and honey together until fully combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk, a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. The dough should be slightly sticky but cohesive enough to roll out.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thickness.

Step 7

Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut the dough into circles. Carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the oatcakes are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve your Yule Oatcakes plain, or enjoy them with cheese, butter, or jam for a festive treat!
