Add salt to flour and oatmeal.
Dissolve yeast with a little warm liquid (water and milk) and add sugar. Allow to become frothy.
Mix dry ingredients with yeast and rest of warm liquid (water and milk)to make a batter.
Cover with clean cloth and leave in warm place for 1 hour.
Bake on well-greased griddle. Put enough batter onto griddle to produce an oatcake about 8 or 9 inches in diameter.
The surface of the Oatcake will bubble up as it cooks and become covered in holes.
Turn oatcake after 2-3 minutes when upperside appears dry and underside is golden brown, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Eat as soon as possible.
Chef's Tips
To add a filling simply roll up some grated cheese, cooked bacon, tomato, cooked mushrooms - or in fact anything you like and microwave on full for about a minute each.
Oatcakes can also be frozen.
