Derbyshire Oatcakes: A Traditional English Treat
Derbyshire oatcakes are a traditional English treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are made with a simple batter of oatmeal, flour, yeast, milk, and water, and can be topped with a variety of your favorite ingredients, such as cheese, bacon, eggs, or fruit.
Oatcakes are a good source of fiber and protein, and they are also relatively low in calories. This makes them a healthy and satisfying meal option.
To make Derbyshire oatcakes, simply combine the ingredients in a bowl and mix until a smooth batter forms. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Heat a flat griddle or frying pan over medium heat and grease it with a little oil or butter. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the griddle or frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Serve your oatcakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
