Vickys Scottish Stovies with Homemade Oatcakes, GF DF EF SF NF instructions
- In a heavy pan with a lid, mix together the onion and potato. Season with salt & pepper and add the drippings / fat.
- Fry off lightly to release some flavour, then pour some hot water into the pan so it sits around a quarter inch up the sides.
- Add the meat if you're using any then cover the pan and heat through before turning down to low.
- Let sit on the low heat for around 30 minutes. Don't be tempted to open the lid much as we're steaming what's inside but do give a stir a couple of times during cooking by swirling the pan around gently.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 5 / 190C / 375°F and mix the dry ingredients together for the oatcakes, then cut in the butter so the mix resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the water a bit at a time. Different oats require different amounts of water so you may need less or more.
- Form a dough then roll out onto a floured surface about a quarter inch thick and cut into discs. You should get around 12.
- Place the shapes on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Check your stovies when you take the oatcakes out of the oven. They're ready when the water is all gone. I like to bash mine around a bit so some potato breaks up but some stays whole.
- Serve with some sliced cooked beetroot and a couple of oatcakes. My dad prefers HP sauce on his, my kids like ketchup, each to their own!.
