Although I’m sure they are nothing like the real thing, I love the ones you get in the shops up here purporting to be Staffordshire Oatcake – they’re like the tastiest face flannel you’ve ever eaten!

I’ll be giving this a go, many thanks for all the effort.
 
Bodge,

those oatcakes at the midlands meet were fantastic, especially with the bacon and cheese in.

i intend to try your recipe very soon.

many thanks for posting it mate.

I've made a batch of 18 today for lunch and the freezer (if they last long enough)
I've left a few for breakfast for the kids as they were complaining about missing them whilst at school.
 
It's my daughter's turn to cook this evening (both the kids have to cook one evening a week) and this is her chosen recipe. She's going to put the mix on to brew as soon as she gets back from school then cook them when I get back from work. She's a dab hand with pancakes, so I imagine they'll come out well - I'll try and get you some pix.

Wow, thank you very much bodge, I've been looking around for a decent recipe ever since you kindly gave me a baconcheese one at the Midlands meet.
The ones in the supermarket are just awful. I'll try this recipe really soon methinks :)
 
JoJo's busy in the kitchen and pleased with the initial results ...

Wooohoo!
Ive always wondered how to make the beuties. I have to confess i didnt realise they were done with yeast. Me a born and bred stokie too!
Cheers for this will definately try it out!
 
Having long since converted my non-Stokie girlfriend over to the worship of Ye Humble Oatcake I passed this thread over to her and made her day :) Nice job, Bodge.
 
Thanks for the tutorial Bodge,

Me and my niece made some today although she decided to play with the camera instead.

Made half plain and half with grated cheese mixed in worked a treat.

Thanks
Stoo.
 
Hi, would it be possible to replace the yeast with baking powder like you use for bannock so you could cook immediately instead of waiting for yeast to work, or would this be unsuitable.
 
Cool,This takes me back to my childhood staying at my uncles in Longton, we always had oatcakes with breakfast.
I've not had them for probably 25 years :(
I'm gonna have to make me some now, cheers for the tutorial.
 
We have them as a special breakfast as often as possible.
Bacon and cheese rule, the whole family love them, and ive converted all visitors to the house!
