Every oatcake shop has their own secret recipe which they don't want to reveal so I took to researching on the internet for a suitable recipe. Making oatcakes is very similar to making pancakes but it is especially important for the mix to stand to allow the yeast to work. I was very pleased with the results and so were the rest of my family who acted as tasters. Now the real test to try them on our guests. I also experimented with a ready made oatcake mix from the Staffordshire Oatcake Shop in Dresden, this was also very successful and a great way for anyone who has moved away from the area to ensure they have access to a plentiful supply of oatcakes. It is amazing the number of Oatcake shops that now offer to mail order your oatcakes to anywhere in the UK!
Whilst reseraching for recipes I discoverd that The Hairy Bikers have recently visited Newcastle under Lyme and Stoke sampling some of Staffordshires finest foods including oatcakes for a programme in their next series. For a preview of what they thought listen to their interview on BBC Radio Stoke
