Sue-Ellen’s Highland Oatcakes & Shortbread Recipes Scottish Oatcakes 1 1/2 C oatmeal (a mix of about 3/4 regular oatmeal and 1/4 pinhead oatmeal is best) 1/8 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1 Tbs. butter, melted 1/2 cup boiling water Preheat oven to 325 (170 C) Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and boiling water to make a stiff dough. Sprinkle a wooden board with fine oatmeal and then roll out the dough to form a circle of about 9 – 10 inches. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully place on a buttered baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. **Please note that such oatcakes were traditionally baked on a ‘girdle.’ (a Scottish griddle) If you’d like to try this method... Simply bake the oatcakes a few at a time (on one side only!) on a lightly buttered griddle (or pan) over medium heat until the bottoms are lightly browned. Now put them on a wire rack and set the wire rack on a baking sheet in a low oven (275 / 140 C) for about 20 – 25 minutes until they are completely firm and dry. The top method is the easiest. Oatcakes are delicious and best enjoyed with a bit of excellent cheese. Highland Shortbread 2 cups butter 1 cup sugar 4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt Pecan halves Sifted powdered sugar Cream butter, gradually adding 1 cup sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Sift together flour and salt, add to creamed mixture. (add more flour if needed, to make the dough easy to handle) Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Gently press a pecan half in center of each. Bake at 350 for 8 – 10 minutes. Roll in powdered sugar while warm. Makes 6 dozen. .

Sweet & Savory Recipes (Featuring Walkers Shortbread) us.walkersshortbread.com Walkers shortbread began in 1898, with Joseph Walker opening the doors of his own bakery. The popularity of his shortbread grew, and he was soon able to expand the business. After his passing, his children took over, never altering the tried-and-true recipe their father stood behind. Today, even though their line of products has expanded greatly, they still hold true to the values their father instilled. And you can taste it in each bite of buttery shortbread. Walkers products are vegetarian and contain no GMO ingredients, artificial colors, preservatives or hydrogenated fats. They are also kosher, and the dairy used contains no antibiotics or bovine growth hormones. Four products from the Walkers line were used in the recipes found in this booklet: Shortbread Rounds & Fingers Made from four simple ingredients: Flour, sugar, salt & pure creamery butter.
