Potteries Oatcakes
2 oz plain white flour, sifted 2 oz oatmeal 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 eggs, lightly beaten 8 fl oz milk 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Mix the flour, oatmeal, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the beaten eggs and milk. Mix with a wooden spoon, gardually incorporating more of the flour until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
Set aside for 30 minutes.
Use hot frying pan or griddle, and grease it with melted butter. Place 3 or 4 tablespoons of mixture on it, well-spaced, and cook for 1 minute.
The traditional way to serves them seems to be with butter and jam, but our family always perferred them as a savoury dish, with melted cheese and eggs.
