Ingredients

2 Cups Rolled Oats
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Butter
1/2 Cup Water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut or rub in the butter/shortening until the mixture is coarse and crumbly.
Gradually mix in the cold water until the dough holds together.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick.
Cut into squares, rectangles or triangles. Square/rectangular oatcakes are particularly characteristic of the Cape Breton style.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges.
Cool completely—they'll become crisper as they cool.
