Thank you, Anne! This fits with my memories from my Grandmother's cookbook - which went missing over 45 years ago.

I will make some tomorrow and let you know if it tastes the same later in the week.

Recipes galore at http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...atcakes-78938/ with some photos. Mine is very simple and fast and can be topped sweet and savory.

This is the recipe I've been using, in US units.
1c steel cut oats
1c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick butter (salted best!)
a little cold water to make it stick in a big dough ball.

I then roll them out and cut them round, bake 10 min at 375 deg F, flip, 8 more. Serve!

Thank you California Highlander for the recipe and the link.

Thank you Elizabeth...that site should keep her busy for quite a while.

My wife ended up being out of town with her sons all weekend, so I couldn't dig up her recipe. It's pretty much like California Highlander's, but I don't remember butter being used.
