Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (gas mark 4).
- Mix the oatmeal, flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
- Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the texture is sandy.
- Gradually add the lukewarm water to form a firm dough that doesn't stick.
- Roll it out very thinly on a floured surface and cut out rounds or squares.
- Arrange on a tray and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Let them cool completely on a wire rack so they become crunchy.
Variations and tips
Sweet version. Add a spoonful of honey to the water for a milder flavour.
