Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour -- (200g)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats -- or fine oatmeal, (200g)
2 tsp active dry yeast -- heaping
1 tsp salt -- heaping
400 ml warm water
400 ml warm milk
England
prep time: 10 mins
rest time: 1 hour
cook time: 4 mins each
Mix everything together in a large bowl until you have a smooth
batter. The batter may seem too thin initially, but will thicken up
as the oats or oatmeal absorb the liquid.
Cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave for at least an hour. The
batter should become bubbly and frothy.
Heat up a heavy frying pan over a medium heat, and grease it with a bit of oil.
Give the batter a good mix, then add about 1/3 cup into the pan,
swirling the pan so that the batter thickly covers it.
The surface will become covered in holes as the flat bread cooks.
After about 2-3 minutes, flip over and cook the other side for about
another couple of minutes.
Turn out onto a plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep warm.
I usually make a stack of them on the same plate.
You could also cook as many as you need and keep the rest of the
batter in the fridge, for a few days.
Makes 10-12

Serving Ideas : This little known flat bread is traditionally eaten
in Staffordshire in Great Britain. They can be eaten with savoury
fillings such as scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, tomato, and
mushrooms, or with sweet toppings like honey, jam or fruit. Sliced
banana and honey are especially tasty.
