INGREDIENTS
300 grams butter, softened
½ cup caster sugar
1¼ cups plain flour, sifted
¾ cup wholemeal flour, sifted
pinch salt
1 tablespoon each poppy seeds and sesame seeds, lightly toasted
4 teaspoons cold water
1½ cups rolled oats, ground quickly in a food processor

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Place the mixture on a lightly floured surface and gently knead the oats into the dough. Continue until all the oats are combined with the mixture, then the divide the dough in half.
Shape each portion into a ball then roll out into circles, roughly 5 mm thick. Use a 5 cm cutter to cut rounds from the mixture and place them on trays lined with baking paper. Re-shape any extra dough and cut more oatcakes until all the mixture has been used.
Bake in batches for 10-13 minutes or until cooked and lightly golden around the edges. Allow to cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring to cooling racks. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
