Pratie Oaten Biscuits Crackers Recipes

IRISH OATEN BISCUITS (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
• Combine oat bran, oats, sugar, flour and baking soda in a big bowl. Add butter and mix well. If your dough is too dry, add some water to it until you can work it.
• Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut out cookies in desired shape (if making shortbread fingers, dont forget to prick them before baking).
• Bake for about 15 minutes until cookies are golden and crispy.

PRATIE OATEN

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a bowl and wash under cold, running water until water runs clear. Place in a medium saucepan with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Add enough water to generously cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, until soft, about 15 minutes. While potatoes are warm, mash with a fork or in a food mill.
• Let potatoes cool a little, then mix in the oats to make a soft dough. Add the butter and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and mix well. Roll dough to 1-inch thickness and cut out 3-inch biscuits with a round cutter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Add half of the potato and oatmeal "cakes" and fry until light brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more butter to skillet if necessary. Serve warm.

PARMESAN AND SESAME CRIMPLE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160°C (150°C fanbake), with the rack just below the middle.
• Measure the first five ingredients into a food processor or large bowl. Pour 1/2 cup warms water into a one cup measure, stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved, then add the oil. Process the dry ingredients in bursts (or toss them together with a fork), while you add the hot liquid mixture in a steady stream. Add as much of the remaining hot water as you need to form a ball of soft dough.
• Cut the dough into four parts and put three aside in a plastic bag. Roll out the other piece VERY thinly on a floured board, using extra flour to stop it sticking, making an oval shape bigger than an A4 size page. Cut in half (lengthwise), then cut each half into 10-12 tall, thin (pennant shaped) triangles, with alternate narrow bases and points on the cut edge. Perfect shapes aren't necessary and outside edges need not be trimmed. Prick crackers with a fork or skewer, Place on a metal cake rack to bake, crumpling but not folding them.
• Bake them on the rack for 10-15 minutes, until pale gold but dry and very crisp. Lower heat and cook longer if necessary. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. When cold, store in airtight containers, reheating if crackers soften or storage.
• Flavour develops fully after about 12 hours.

CELTIC HOMEMADE PRATIE OATEN

Steps:

• Work enough of the oatmeal into the mashed potatoes to form a soft dough. Add salt to taste and enough melted butter or lard to bind it together.
• Scatter oatmeal on a cutting board and roll out dough. Cut into triangular wedges and cook on both sides on a hot greased griddle in the oven, or fry on the stove.
• Serve hot or cold.

• Melt the butter, syrup and milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave and stir.
• Add to the dry ingredients. Mix until the liquid covers all the oat mixture and until well combined.

OATEN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F, and line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
• Combine the flour, oat bran, sugar, salt and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl, and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Add the water and use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix the ingredients in the bowl until the mixture just comes together.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out the dough until it is about 3mm thick. Use a 5cm/2"-diameter round pastry cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared trays.
• Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with egg and sprinkle with the extra oat bran.
• Bake in a pre-heated oven, swapping the position of the trays over halfway through the cooking, for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
