Recipe View 1 hrs Transfer the cooled oat mixture to a mixing bowl. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, egg, salt, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until well combined. Gradually stir in the self-rising flour until no dry spots remain. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for at least 1 hour to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid.

Recipe View 8 mins Heat melted butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, scoop spoonfuls of the oat mixture onto the hot surface, flattening each spoonful to your desired thickness. Cook until golden brown and the tops spring back when lightly touched, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side.

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter for cooking the oatcakes.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings! Berries, sliced bananas, nuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt are all excellent choices.
Oatcakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.

    I didn't have heavy cream, so I used half-and-half, and they still turned out great!

  • Bridget Hessel

    I let the batter rest overnight, and the oatcakes were incredibly soft and fluffy the next morning!
